Hirelings, scenery and friendly fun?

[HappyHackerK8]

I’m based in the north east and go hunting with my lovely cob! He will jump anything under 80cm…I have a lovely mare that I XC/SJ 80+ but hunting would blow her ginger mind!

For my birthday this year (November) I would love to go to a stunning meet with plenty of jumping (nothing too horrific and no wire/gates) and hire a couple of hirelings. Would travel and stay over up to 2/3hrs drive…

Anyone know of any meets that fit the bill with local briefings that would look after a pair of half decent riders?

Thank you - have you been out with those hunts? Who would you recommend? For some good jumping but still friendly?

 

[thatsnotmyname]

yes all of them.
Jumping depends on weather and meet location but they are all super. We are trappy country round here.
WOY are particularly lovely bunch.

Thank you!

Could try DG Equine or Mill Farm both Gloucester way lots of jumping country and many options of where to go/who to go with

There are some jolly packs with appropriate jumping here in Shropshire and a couple of very good hireling people.
Or go down to the Cotswolds and use DG Equine- again a choice of good packs.

Is it the Cotswolds that are famously big hedge country? My memory has failed me!

Thr Cotswolds are very varied. More known for stone walls than hedges, although there are some great hedge days around the edges, particularly the Heythrop and the south of the VWH.
You may be thinking of the Ledbury who pride themselves on their hedge country?

You're quite right, I was thinking of the Ledbury!

Flights to Ireland are pretty cheap usually.

Get yourself over to Flowerhill.

Try Jack Thompson Watson, he used to do hirelings and is master with Tynedale.
