A Bucks / Herts introduction to hunting?

[robthecob]

Hello,

I have a wonderful mare who I would love to experience everything on including attending a hunt meet... However I am not sure it is sensible to risk it .

My girl is only 10 but is semi retired due to old injury, she us actually only retired from school work and is perfectly sound to hack. We even went x country last year with some friends (we did more galloping than jumping) but not so much as a puffy leg the next day.

So could we go hunting? Do people just go for the jolly or is that not what it's all about? I believe she has hunted 5 years ago before I got her so she may know what it's all about. Not sure if that will be a good thing or a bad thing lol! We are I'm Tring Hertfordshire at the moment but I'm not a local so i lack local knowledge. We are actually from the famous Quorn hunting country up Norf..

Maybe contact the Vale of Aylesbury Hunt and see if they do any beginners days?

Hi it's actually now the Kimblewick hunt, we do hunt round that area, look on the website for contact details. It sounds like you will be fine out hunting, quite a few people do just come occasionally, for a 'a jolly', social, educational reasons. We are all friendly. Have you hunted before?
