do you plait for hunting?

[jcberry]

?

 

[only_me]

yep

Good manners to do so

 

[joe_carby]

yep respectful to the hunt the hounds and most importantly the farmers and landowners to whose property you are riding over.

 

[millitiger]

yes but i don't mind if other people don't as long as it is pulled and tidy.

and i reckon most farmers i know would prefer a bottle of scotch to show appreciation rather than seeing a horse whizzing past with a pretty mane!

 

[MerryMAL]

Yeah. I hunt with the parent hunt of my PC and I'd most likely get told off by the instructors! But yeah it's also tradition and respectful.

 

[Dogstar]

If you look at the old hunting prints though...no plaits!! Our hunt is on Autumn Hunting dress since the ban so no plaits, though I hogged my Irish Cob anyway

Just how many times does this (very boring) subject have to appear on this Forum?
I thought it had been done and dusted some weeks ago.

 

[Hels_Bels]

Yes always do.

HEAR, HEAR. No farmers = no hunting.

 

[JoBo]

Oh MrWoof you really are a grumpy old so and so!

Not I don’t plait, because Bodey is hogged, makes life so much easier. However I do make sure his white bits are white, well until we start anyway.

 

[MrWoof]

Oh MrWoof you really are a grumpy old so and so!

Yes - I am the original GOW - and proud of it.
However, are YOU a farmer??
I repeat - no farmers = no hunting.
Please just have some respect for the people over whose land you hunt.
"Smirks" sounds to me as if you are just a silly little girl.

 

[JoBo]

Yes that’s right I’m a silly little Twenty Nine year old girl, who loves doing nothing more then galloping my little hunting cob!

You do make me laugh, you take this forum all too seriously sometimes!!

 

[MrWoof]

So pleased to hear that you and your cob enjoy yourselves gadding about - BUT over whose ground?
As I asked previously - are YOU a farmer?

 

[JoBo]

Does Farmville count? If so then, yes I am a farmer, currently growing Strawberries and Christmas trees. Oh and I gad over whoever’s ground the Master does, I just follow the red Jacket!

 

[cptrayes]

Have to, not allowed out unless I do. Wish we didn't!

 

[HayleyandBob]

Er is that not the point of this forum to ask advice from people?
If its been done to death its obviously something people want advice on but its not there fault if they havnt seen a thread on it before.

That is NOT farming, that is Horticulture - and please, Masters wear Coats NOT jackets.

You are just too easy to wind up, love you really!

 

[LadyRascasse]

LMAO at JoBo, Mr woof what is your problem? someone asked a question about plaiting and you go off on one about who land they are riding on, surely that is the responiblity of the hunts master to sort out not the paying public!!!!

in answer to Jcberry's question yes you do have to plait unless your horse is hogged.

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

You silly little girl !!

How I would love to be a little girl, if I was to be silly could I be little too ? Pwetty pwease !!

 

[JoBo]

Oh course you can Colleen_miss_tom, we can be silly little girls together, and gallop our ponies on verges everywhere!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

YAY !

 

[Gucci_b]

yes i plait for hunting

looks so much smarter, if your horse/pony has a mane it's polite to plait despite the bred of horse....

 

[aimeejay]

Lmao at the little 'creative discussion' going on here

, and yes you do plait unless your horse is hogged

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

i dont plait as mines hogged, my friend didnt plait for autumn hunting, but was told she must for the real season.

I too follow the red jacket ahem i mean coat!! lol

Then you very obviously did not read JoBo's post re: following the FM.
NO, it is not totally the FM's responsibility - it is up to EVERYONE to respect the ground over which one hunts.
