Any hunts over Xmas for an Aussie?

[jadiek]

Hi,
I'm travelling to the UK over Xmas to visit family and I'm wondering if there are any hunts on over the Xmas period, and any that allow random people (like me haha!!) to join in??
I'm an eventer over in Australia and I have always always wanted to join in on a hunt (just a drag, not fussed on the fox hunting, although I believe it's illegal now?). There is a club local to me here in Australia that I will be joining next year, but it's just not the same as in England!

The area my family live is North East Lincolnshire so if there are any local hunt clubs whose contact details you could pass on, it would be greatly appreciated, or any suggestions on where I could start looking...

G'day !

I am sure that any of the local hunts would be delighted to welcome you. I suggest trying the Holderness hunt or the Brocklesby, both of which are ok for a NE Lincolnshire base. Both hunt fox, within the law of course. If you google, them for contact details, contact either the Hunt Supporters Club of the Hunt secretary, then they can probably recommend a good yard for you to hire a hunter from (if you need a horse). Certainly - at the Holderness at least - I am sure you would be welcome to hunt for a day. All hunts charge a visitors 'cap' (fee) which varies from hunt to hunt, and is collected at the meet. The secretary will let you know how much this is when you call to arrange the day.

Good luck !

Awesome, thanks so much for your help! Will do a bit of googling and see what I can come up with. My dad recognised Brokelsby as being quite close to where my family live, so I will get in touch with that club and hopefully they have something I can go along too.
I hope I do get to do this, I have always wanted to go riding through the English countryside!
