Hunting before the 2005 ban

Actually no I don't - don't make assumptions!

This type of comment is the very reason why I now avoid contributing on hunting posts.......

Could I ask you to be clearer about which posts you were objecting to then, because TP read it the same way I did and Palo liked it so she presumably didn't think you were criticising her?

I hunted a fair amount pre ban and a fw times post ban. I was immensely lucky pre ban to own the most amazing horse. He was sold to me as a first time owner. I later learnt he had in fact previously been owned by a local hunt. He was an utter tool to hunt and I have so many fantastic memories of days out on him. Sadly he was pts around time of the ban. My 2nd horse I knew had been hunted well. But OMG post ban it seemed as if everyone had lost their manners and the main aim seemed to be to ride as fast as you can and jump as many fences. Not for me thank you very much.

Omg. Are you me!? ?

Why did you post criticising the thread if you don't want people to understand what you meant ? ?

I think in my experience, I like drag hunting better. I like the fact that the hedges are prepared and there’s usually a no jump route close by.

Are you only interested in fox hunting, Beth? Because for me, as someone who only ever hunted to ride across country and jump things, I had some terrific fun out fox and drag hunting. I don't have any fox hunting pictures, but this drag hunt pic is pretty well known on the forum.

I’m the same as you, I have hunted with a drag hunting pack but not a fox hunting one. I would like to ride with a fox Hunting style pack although I haven’t had the opportunity.

To me, as I have said on here before, hunting is all about hounds. I’m in Essex so no flying over hedges although we did some mighty ditches.
Watching a hound take a line over plough and the rest of the pack joining in, that was what it was all about. Venery at its purest.
So I like working dogs as much as horses, in fact after the ban I gave up horses and now work dogs instead.
