A few of you might remember that I took my new horse cubbing for the first time a few weeks ago. He behaved better than I expected to start with- few bronks in the first canter and took off a bit but after that so long as I kept him moving he was great.
After 10-15 mins of fast work in a field of 30-40 we stopped and surrounded cover. It blew his brains- he got more and more restless until he was running backwards, rearing, fly bucking etc etc.
I won't take him again as it takes me enough bottle to take a well behaved horse hunting! BUT I really enjoy it so it would be a shame to give up.
Have found an experienced lad to take him out for me.
Has anyone done this, anything I should be wary of- legal implications if my horse injures him etc?
Think it will do my horse the world of good but want to go into it with my eyes wide open!
