I have a 5 year old ISH whom I have owned since last October. I was told he had been Autumn hunting (pictures to prove) so took him hound exercising this January as the wet weather has postponed hunting and I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to introduce slowly. He went berserk, rearing in the roads, running backwards, just out of control and did not settle the whole time we were out. A very experience rider from the hunt offered to take my horse on a very quiet day a few weeks later and after 1 1/2s later he brought my horse back to me and said he was too dangerous to continue. He was doing exactly the same thing with him as he had with me. Well the hounds have been out a couple of times me with the huntsmen and even at the end of the drive without him seeing them he started going mental in his stable. In every other way he is the golden horse but with the season approaching, my nerves are getting the better of me and I am contemplating never hunting again or selling him even though that is why I brought him. He is a ID x TB. He just seems to loose the plot when he sees hounds. I really need some help as I love him dearly and the thought of selling him breaks my heart but I am not sure he will ever be able to hunt safely. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
