Well then they should have told that daft lady side saddle person to put a bloody thong and lash on her hunting whip and hold it the right way too..thong end up please.Suppose we should be grateful it was`nt filmed in high summer! And WHY film the field and hounds all mingled but apparently in full cry..UUURRRGGGHH it drives me nuts.:mad::mad:[/QUOTE

I am amazed that finally a tv programme has made the effort to show not only a hunting scene but a lady hunting, on PRIMETIME t.v and people are moaning about minor details! I hunt side saddle, I do it because I love it so I was over the moon to finally see something relevant to it on t.v. Would you have preferred they didn't show it at all at cut the hunting scenes entirely?? Lets not forget these programmes are filmed for public entertainment, they are not historical documentarys.
Please could we all be a little more supportive of equines on t.v regardless of the reasons, then maybe we would see more. :o

Yes but showing it incorrectly gives the none hunting people the wrong impression/idea not just the dress/accessories I mean the snobbery/class issue, hope that makes sense. If they don't portray it in the correct manner how will we ever get the support from the none hunting, that's why alot of people do not understand what and why we hunt.
