I'm sorry to hear this magic but if your hunt ball was anything like ours, over half the people there, have never been and will never come hunting but just enjoy the social event. Please don't assume these were hunting folk, i may be wrong of course, but i do know a few girls who are very anti...

Other forms of hunting involve hounds working too, not just beagling, you just get a different perspective from a horse. Besides years ago beagles were also followed on horses. It is the nature of the quarry that will sometimes make it easier to see hounds working on foot or by keeping up with a...

Please do not tar everyone with the same brush, not EVERYONE has a lack of knowledge. Many thanks, a huntsmans wife.

There is someone but don't know name, will find out and post later

Hi would love to come, will have to do some sucking up to OH to bring me and take the horse back so i can pick up my daughter

What a childish thing to put, when someone is asking a genuine question. :(

Hi the hunt is over the same land, the only thing that changed was where to park. We normally park in fields, but they have been being used or too wet

Sandhurst draghunt is cancelling, but we will be taking hounds out for exercise, for those who want to join on foot. PM me for more info.

Hi the Huntsman of the Cambidge Drag is a good friend of myself and my OH; who is also a draghound huntsman. Bruce, hunts his hounds as naturally as possible. He will get his runner to act as much like a fox as possible, by lifting the drag and running in circles, so his hounds have to work. It...

yes thats ok at most places... where are you as i may be able to help ????

Sorry to hear that you felt there were a lot of out of control people. I would like to point out, before we get a bad rep, that 90% of the field yesterday were not regulars. The RMA welcomes all and unfortunatly sometimes it takes people a couple of outings to find out how their horse/pony will...

I say go for it. :grin: Speak to the secretary of the hunt to find a suitable meet for first timers. You may want a meet with optional jumping, rather than going to a meet and getting stuck as your horse won;t jump. Keep your bit the same for now, she may react differently just because you have...

well sounds like you had a very interesting day!!! glad you and your horse are well.. also good to hear you enjoyed it and that you will be back out with us again... hope you got to see hounds as they were hunting well tody... look forward to seeing you out with us again . ps come and...

hi my o/h has been out fencing today and checking the lines for tommorow.. although wet the meet will go ahead as planned unless a severe frost tonight ... the going is ok as stated it is mainly on sandy and bracken covered ground.. a few jumps that have alot of water around them have been...

Hi my OH is the new huntsman , so not 1 u have possibly been with. He has worked hard on changing the lines and also makes the hounds cast about and work harder to find the trail, hence the pace in the field should be slowed. Also it is possible to go around all the jumps if so desired.
