how often do you go hunting?

[star]

just wondered how often people tended to go and whether you go standard hunting or drag hunting? wondering if going out 4 times in december is too much??

I hunt once or twice a week normally except this year because I am too skint. 4 times in a month will be fine

I am lucky enough to hunt every Tuesday plus occasional Sats if OH at home to baby sit! 4 times a month sounds fine if the horse is fit enough and you can afford it. I only have one horse for this season but have another coming on who will be out next season too, so will spread the work load.

God! I feel quite creul now, my boy hasn't missed a day yet? Every Weds and Sat he's gone?!?!?

Ah well, he's very fit now :grin:

2 days a week all day long, all season long & that has been for 5 seasons on same horse!
I do normal trail hunting.

If your horse is fit enough then 4 days in a month should be no problem.

Received wisdom is that you should limit yourself to 3 days a fortnight. Obviously it should depend on what sort of a day you have - is there lots of galloping in heavy plough or have you just stood around in a large covert? For myself I watch my boy's weight and when the girth is starting to use too many holes, I give him a Wednesday off.

I tend to do every other Tues but that is second horse-ing. Some of our horses go out every week some twice a week occasionally.
I don't think 4 times in a month is too much if your horse is fit enough. This is standard hunting.

I hunt everytime they are near me, ranges from once to about 4 times a month.

If i had transport it would be more like 1 or twice a week!
