Hiring a horse to go hunting for a day?

[3BayGeldings]

Is this done? How do i go about this? Even if its just a couple of hours. I live in Manchester during term time and Newcastle during school holidays, so in and around one of those places

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The hunt you intend to hunt with would probably put you in contact with someone who provides hirelings in their area. Ring the sec.

Thank you. Do you have any idea of average costs? Do places generally hire them out for the day or the hour?

I don't know the cost as have never hired myself, but I would imagine it would cost about £200, and I would have thought you would be charged for the day rather than per hour.
Shame we're not closer, you could hire my horse! I'm sure he'd manage a couple of hours and would love a day out!

Just a quick bit of advice - if you're going hunting on a hireling - make sure you're fit enough! The horse should be more than fit enough to stay out for the whole day - so to have fun and enjoy yourself - you don't want to be puffing after the 1st gallop! You will be stiff and sore the day after but not so bad if you're reasonably in shape to start with!

Expect to pay anything from £50 to £150 in the north east for a hireling - as someone else said, make sure you are fit enough to enjoy a full day out to get your value for money!
