Daughter chosen hunting for homework!

[pipstar]

Help!! my 9 year old as part of her IT project to design an information website has chosen Hunting as her topic!

We aren't involved in the hunting scene (although I guess this homework is a ploy to get us interested).

Can anyone point me in the right direction for info that is aimed at children to understand?

We have looked at our local hunts web pages and gathered some info from there but any general info that you think might be helpful i.e. what are hunting buttons? Why do some people wear a red hunting jacket? What do you have to do to be a master of the hunt etc would be really beneficial to us.

Thanking you all in advance.

The sticky (advice for hunting newbies) at the top of this forum has a few links in it.

You can download the Pony Club Hunting Leaflet here. This has been written for the Belvoir hunt, so your daughter will need to ignore the names of staff and wot not that are specific to their pack.

She may also find the countryside alliance website aimed specifically at younger viewers useful. I am not sure if there is any hunting content, but she might find it useful.

Find your local Hunt Kennels and give them a call, they may be happy to help as it's all good PR!

i think everyone's about covered it, but try the MFHA website and the pony club manual.

and don't be afraid to ask things on here!
