This - I have the radio on full blast and give the stress head a dose of sedalin and the other two tend to stay calm as the stress head isn't stressing!

mine always go out. I would never keep them in for either the hunt (yesterday) the shoot (tomorrow) or fireworks. we never ride if they are hunting or shooting. OH got caught out with the shoot who we asked to stop to let him get past and they couldn't so the horse charged off home when the firearm was discharged.
I don't think we have had sabs for quite a while but in the old days we got on well with the sabs. Probably because we were even more scruffily dressed than they were and we made a point of explaining who we were. The hunt are a different matter.

Sore point with me.
My old boy never, ever got used to the hunt being around and would wind himself up into an almighty tizz. 700+kg of draft horse throwing himself against his stable door when the physio was trying to work on his friend meant a rapid end to that session while I threw open his door and let him charge off to his paddock.
The last time I had hounds across my land was the day before he was PTS. The vet was already lined up thankfully because he royally stuffed his bad leg galloping round. Luckily I was there so could stuff him full of drugs and he spent 24 hours as high as a kite. No doubt exactly the way he would have chosen to go but I was less than impressed.
Anyway I think the ones that get wound up never really seem to get used to it. I had the horses on livery at a RS once and it was always the same horses in the herd that would go bonkers and the same that would flick an ear and keep eating

Have had in the past but we just used to keep them in if we knew the hunt were around. Where I live now, they don’t come very close so I get away with it - my boy would be excited and then sulk if they did at the fact that he wasn’t on it himself. ?

I fear that you are wrong about that.

I dont think so, however hunting is pretty much doing the sabs job for them recently. Just sit back and watch them destroy themselves from within.
