how fit to cub?

[kombikids]

i have been contacted about a cub hunt or sorry autumn hunt on saturday which is literally 2 minutes from my yard, but horsey is fairly unfit as havent had a saddle for a couple of weeks, so has been lunged. How fit do they need to be to cope with an hour (would literally be that and only that as i am not fit either and dont want to kill her!). Have been told not to get them too fit for cubbing.

what do we think?

I would say as long as she has been lunged regularly she may be ok to go, lunging can be just as good for fitness as riding. Your be the best one to judge as she is your horse, you know her best, but if you plan to be out for an hour should be fine, plus with autumn hunting a lot of standing around.
