Cheshire Forest Hunt Boxing Day

[Behati]

Can anyone give me a brief run down of what this hunt is like? I’ve been told it’s fast with jumps up to 1m.

How long is it?
What’s the route?
Is the above accurate?

Thank you

So in short I have absolutely no issue jumping 3ft, but if it's like consistently like 5ft hedges I will probably be very uncomfortable.
Is there way around the bigger ones, if there are? Is there normally people at the back who may be in the same position as me?

If you want a good day out look elsewhere.

Nicknamed the ‘tarmac pack’ as they now have access to very little good country, plus the hunt directors are up in court next year charged with offences under the Animal Welfare Act after two hounds were killed on the same day earlier this year. One hound was shot by the landowner when trespassing through a field of horses, and the other was killed by a train when trespassing on a live railway track.

Hunt trial delayed after foxhound killed by train and two shot on same day

Liz Gorse, a retired vet, along with fellow Cheshire Forest Hunt director, Teryl Knowles, were due to stand trial on Wednesday, December 3, after…

ETA I have ridden out with them for a half day in the distant past pre ban, and I did jump a 5ft hedge.

This is terrible. Goodness me.

If it's your first time hunting, absolutely avoid any boxing day meet.

Why?

Loads of people also going on their first ever hunt and carnage ensuing?

Boxing Day meets are one of the biggest of the year, they're massive and very busy both with riders and spectators.
