Yes did leave comments and spoke to a steward at the end as had to leave the ride before the jumps as my horse had a nose bleed. They kindly let me take a short cut through the back of the horse paddocks.
Yes most riders ask before passing but ive been on pleasure rides for years and this was the worst ever . I think it was just the sheer volume of horses on the course. I know it was for a good cause but i think safety should come first
I agree it was more like a hunt and I would never in a millon years go hunting.
There was 3 accidents were the riders came off and one horse was caught up in wire which was left by the side of the booking in point. What a day.
Went on the ride yesterday and my horse behaved like a nutter for most of the ride.( Jumping,leaping, jogging) I ache all over. She is normally good on pleasure rides but i have never been on a ride with over 400 horses on it!! We were riding head to tail all of the ride couldnt even trot on to...
