The hunt normally has some good person organised to clear it up after hounds have left.

I always carry a skip, so when returning to the lorry after hunting, will clear up any droppings, whether 'mine' or anyone else's - just plain manners.

However I did feel sorry for one of our committee members on Boxing Day, as not only had a carpark to clear, but 1/2 mile of high street!!! Now that's dedication.....

I do hope YOU didnt leave any poo behind , only the horse.

Might I suggest the correct equine terminology is used:

When as some so sweetly put it their horse poo's, the correct term is for one's horse 'TO LIFT IT'S TAIL'.

Also for those whose horse may 'wee'. the term is: 'TO STALE'

Horses do not "poo" JM,they dung,or do droppings.One could go into Pets At Home and ask for suitable size "poo-bags"...God how I loathe that fluffy stupid word.

Well East Kent, having spent and inevitably finds oneself in a large amount of time, in the company of females when it comes to horses, because that's the way things are, I find it more comfortable to talk about 'lifting the tale' and 'staling'.

Which reminds me horses, 'sweat', men 'perspire' and ladies, 'gentle glow'.

Not as one lady once remarked to me out with a Dorset pack on a warm spring day, years ago - they like to hunt into the spring in Dorset, "are you hot, I'm hot". The invitations I have had and never accepted!

Ineed I am fairly sure she is a member of this forum!

Well done, you!

This is an absolute MUST of hunting ettiquette. There is nothing worse than seeing a farm yard where people have been unboxing left littered at the end of the day with big piles of dung, which people have casually kicked out of their horseboxes and left for the host to clear up if he doesn't want his drains to get blocked.

This is an appalling habit, should be a sending home offence and has cost more than one Hunt more than one meet venue in the past.

If your horse lifts its tail once you're on it, that's fine, everyone accepts that there's little you can do about that - but you absolutely MUST leave the place where you parked your box as clean as it was when you arrived.

Mine lift their TAILS but still dump as I inelegantly put it. But I'm not an elegant person, that's another tale.
