Horse (and Hound)?

[Jerome]

God bless Horse and Hound! The amount of space to devoted to hunting has shrunk dramatically in recent years. They even air-brush out pro-hunting stickers on riders on the front cover. I like your style. I think it's time to change the name to "Horse"!!!!!

How many people turned out over xmas and new year!!!! and this is my first season if it wasnt 4 the ban i would have never have gone out, now i travel up2 150 miles to hunt with different packs just come back from a week with TF and im from the cotswold. who needs magazine space when you have the voice of the british people.....

What a great contribution !!!!

Your best yet !!

Yes Jerry, hunting is all over. Change the name to "horse". No more hound breeding, no more puppy shows, no more hunting.

We have our hunt ball on Friday. Both of us !!!

Come along, we need a comedian.

What a crock of shite.

Remembner, it was a pro that said this very recently...
"Always remember that when the antis start swearing at you and threatening you, they've already lost the argument. "

 

[wurzel]

Jesus Christ !!!

Did a "pro" say that ?!!?

Thats it then. I give in.

I won't go hunting anymore.

If us "pro's" can't think as one then we are doomed.


Is that the best you can do?

But as usual, lifted from another site.

Is Jerome/Kicking Karl capable of original thought?

 

[flying_change]

That's a crock of shite.

Funny though Jerome, there are actually far more pages now included in Hounds magazine.

 

[Eagle_day]

Jerome/Kicking Karl is often wrong of course, but with this thread he has achieved a spectacular and glorious high.

This week's H&H includes:

4 pages of Boxing Day reports (luckily not printing any pictures of my daughter's pony trashing the drinks tray);
4 pages report on the Cottesmore, including appointments;
1 page on the breeding of fell hounds;
1 page of gossip from Midge Todhunter;
and articles making up another page on scenting conditions and a Pony Club hunting visit to America.

Perhaps H&H should be renamed Hound magazine? Thank you Lucy.

"That's a crock of shite. "

It is, any idea how the deer are being controlled on Exmoor?

Or don't you care?

Does it really matter? I see copies of H & H in almost every yard I go to, most of which have no connection to hunting with hounds and most of the riders there would probably be anti. Equestrians buy it because it's good for equestrian news, events and articles and those that dont hunt probably just skip the hunting bits.

Despite what pro's would love to believe it is as much as a generalist equestrian mag as a hunting mag. H & H is no doubt aware that a huge chunk of it's subscribers dont hunt or may be anti hunt and it caters for their needs too.

I dont buy it personally.

 

[endymion]

Well this was initially a hunting debate forum so thats why we anti's are here and lots of those that hunt only do it because they like riding around the countryside with their mates.

I hardly think I "over run" the hunting forum, Skids!
For the record I admire your stance on foxhunting generally, i.e that it should be - after all is said and done - about killing foxes. I have said so in the past but you have either missed those comments or chosen to ignore them. The other thing you and other pros will have missed is my lack of support for the ban and the way it was brought about. This does not mean I am in favour of the way foxhunting has conducted itself in my memory over the UK generally.
With regard to some of my responses to you over the years they have been as a result of some of your hilarious posts which have invited ridicule, and then your wild, abusive replies which are probably intended to hurt and offend but only make me laugh and find you all the more likeable as a result!

 

[Eagle_day]

H&H has always been a general equestrian mag, right from the very first edition - a copy of which was circulated in the centenary edition.

Jerome/Karl's plagarised point was that the hunting content has decreased to reflect a supposed fall in support for hunting. He was proved gloriously wrong.

So you've conducted a 20 year survey and not bought the magazine? Did you use the one in the library or did you get a 'friend' to go into the newsagent's for you?!
