1st time hunting - beginners report

I really enjoyed your post, it was great to read. Today was my first time out too, I had a very brave young horse who liked the ditches but did not want to stand still for love nor money! We circled so much I thought he would have tired himself but to my disbelief he kept going. I think I might try the pelham for him next time, normally he is the slowest thing on 4 legs but today he was awesome but until he grasps what he is supposed to do I think I need a little help with the brakes!!
I have a grin on my face as wide as the river severn and it was such a beautiful morning to be out. They say you never forget your first time hunting and boy I will never forget mine.......have fun saturday I will be looking forward to reading your next installment.

Yay! It's nearly tomorrow! I will spend a decent chunk of this evening chipping crud off my riding boots and applying polish...

No go for me tomorrow :(

William was not right when i rode him this afternoon and don't wanna take him out if he's not 100% :confused:

hope you have a good day and if all is well then next weekend we'll try again
 
Sorry to hear about William, hope he is on the mend now.

It was very muddy indeed but also lots of fun, especially when the sun came out. Might try and go autumn hunting once more - and then aim at one of the opening meets :D
 
Bloody brilliant. :) Well done, you love it really.

Also a little hope that the CLC have a bit of humour as this is who I will be going out with, if I can get Samba fit enough. I think she is but she just is not that forward going maybe she needs to get up Williams butt a bit and it might actually turn her into the forward going pony she is meant to be (welsh x hackney).

:)

If I see you out I will say hi.

Nor me! Took my boy in a snaffle bridle with cavesson :eek: :eek: :eek: Soon regretted that one :D In fact I have a super photo of my cob with his tongue over the bit pissing off with me! I think he'll eventually settle down, although he refuses to stand at the end of a line :rolleyes:

Sharky good luck for round two - but bear in mind, the horse will know what's coming.... :p;)

Glad you had a great day, I did think that after Friday nights rain they may have even called it off. Must have been V muddy

William seems fine now, His legs filled randomly and just didn't seem right in himself.
He was 100% yesterday though and did some beautiful work in the school.

here's hoping for the weekend :p


Toffee44 - if he's anything like William, you're quiet easy horse will turn into a speeeeeeeeeeeeeeddd machine.

I don't suggest tagging onto the back of me unless you want to go everywhere at the speed of sound, aren't offended by my prolific swearing and you can pick good lines despite what me ginger monster wants to do - i am but a passenger 60% of the time (basically 100% of the not standing at a covert time) :eek::cool:
