Costume Drama

I think he means dress appropriately. He probably won't turn up in a gown and tiara, nor stark naked, maybe a smart shirt and trousers or something like that.

Sorry to put words into your mouth rs.
 
Crumbs! If 'he' may wear a gown + tiara this could better the Royal Variety Performance!!!! Funny thought - all the men in drag on Boxing Day..... can I persuade my OH to wear the reapberry taffeta?
 
Yes, well, he can wear what he likes, so long as he behaves himself and does not:

Sit on the photocopier and run off a hundred images of his naked bottom.
Abuse the office furniture by sh*gging the office boy upon it in lots of new and exciting positions
Leave his computer on so his boss can see how much time he spends posting on this forum during office hours
 
"He probably won't turn up in a gown and tiara"

I've never been interested in wearing womens clothing. Though I do note that women have much more flexibility in clothing than men.
 
haha! Sabbing dressed as redcoats, now that would be funny!!

Nah, I ride out with others from the yard. I don't know if it's difficult for those that hunt to understand but we ride out without hounds the whole day and have great fun. We stop off at surrounding yards to say hi and have a quick drink on our way. It's just always been a tradition at our yard and I've done it ever since I was a kid (although I drank less then). Boxing day is really just for the kids so I'm really just there to make sure none of them disappear into the forest (we have huge pine forests surrounding our yard and it does happen. I've often had to spend half an hour looking for kid whose pony has decided to go off on an adventure of it' own, hehe). New Years Day is adults only and is not for the faint hearted. For someone who doesnt ride for most of the year it can be, erm , interesting!

Happily there are no hunts to sab round my way.

Sabbing from a horse would probably work quite well. If I had one.

Well, you could always hire one - in fact I'm surprised mounted sabbing hasn't been done - or maybe it has.

Would you wear your sabbing outfit under conventional hunting gear, like the German soldiers disguised as Poles in 'the Eagle has Landed' wore their Werhmacht uniforms as protection against being shot as spies?
 
I go beagling without a horse in scruffy clothes, so I suppose I could just as well be a monitor.

I must say I'm a bit confused as to the difference.

I just go and watch the hounds hunting for hares. I suspect I have just as much fun as the monitors.

The main thing is to have a good time.
