Autumn hunting is a very sedate affair, bit like a hack with regular gossip breaks!!! So no, you won't die unless you are on board a complete and utter loony tune

Smart turnout, but when I have been plaiting has been optional. Tweed jacket is preference and you will find the majority will wear shirt and tie (although you are unlikely to be lynched if you wear a stock

)

If you have long boots then wear those, if you don't then I wouldn't buy them especially and would wear your short boots and gaiters.

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

tweed jacket and shirt and tie for cubbing, gloves and hairnet, long boots preferably brown if you got them cream or beige breeches. hunting whip
horse should be clean and tidy. you dont plait for cubbing, tack to suit horse dark numnah (brown ior black)
have a nice time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
