I went in tweed jacket with stock (others had stocks on but most had shirt and ties). No horses were plaited at all!

Have fun - I did!!! x

Tweed jacket with shirt and tie is correct. Nobody should plait for Autumn hunting.

Which pack are you going with?

Have fun!!

tweed jacket, shirt/tie OR stock, but coloured not white, cream jods

Black/navy jacket after opening meeting with white stock or shirt/tie

Don't forget the hipflask!! - and when it gets a cold a waistcoat under your jacket

Plus a silly vacant expression, the product of years of inbreeding.

That expression is the result of getting up at 4am in most cases - fool.

Yes, after being up until 10/11pm the night before, plaiting, tack cleaning e.t.c.

PS. Tie is not correct for 'proper' hunting! It should be white stock only with a black or navy (for a lady) hunting coat.

For all autumn cub hunting meets correct dess is tweed jackets, shirt and tie cream jods and brown boots it's officially called ratcatcher, your horse should not be plaited but turned out smartly!
And yeah it is normally an early start!

Yep, tweed jacket, shirt and tie with cream jods. That is also the correct attire for a junior all season! There is no reason to plait up for cub hunting. Luckily, as i hunt with the new forest, there are very few meets that i need to plait for but my horse does have white legs, mane and tail so still takes some scrubbing up!
