Anyone hunt with the Fernie?

I'm quite keen on the idea of taking my horse out cubbing this coming season, but was talking to YO last night and she said it was £80 a day and that the people who hunt with the Fernie are really pretentious and not friendly at all

I didn't think it was that much on all of the days? Does anyone know? I do know a few people who hunt with them and they are nice enough, but now I'm worried about going in case the majority of people aren't friendly

Hi, I've been out with the Fernie a few times & always had a good day, on the whole everyone was lovely but I remember a few grumpies - maybe they were just having a bad day. If you manage to get a day for £80 you'll have done well. If you are under 25 (might be 21) you will get a cheaper day. Where abouts are you? The Atherstone are very friendly and offer some very good newcomer packages. Go & have fun ....you'll love it. Sxx

Thanks! Sadly I'm not under 25 so no deductions there then! I'm fairly near the Atherstone so thats a possibility. I didn't realise it was so expensive tbh - I used to go out with the Quorn but we didn't have to pay then and I've been drag hunting which was always about £25 for a day!

Thanks for the info

Autumn Hunting is only about £20 with the Atherstone - that might be subscriber rates but I'm sure they'd do something for you as a newcomer. If you like I will PM you the cap secretary's number

That would be brilliant - thanks mrsew! Maybe I will be able to drag YO to that as well...!

thats expensive! ours is only £20 for an adult- £10 for a child, subscribed or not for child and about £35 for unsubscribed adult... cubbing will be cheaper though...
had a hunting day with fernie last year (have a day with fernie, quorn and fitz william each year when staying with my aunt with my horse) and i really enjoyed it!

I hunt with the Fernie I think its great and all seem pretty friendly to me!!

I'm a child so cheaper for me =)

I think you tend to get a better day with the Fernie... more jumping than with some others which i love!! hehe
