Hunting video

[Fools Motto]

This came up on my FB page.
Worthy of a share! I find it very good, and very accurate to what a day in the saddle has been for me. The horse he is riding, behaves like mine does too, so it is much better to up front and going! AND, I rarely see the hounds!
Anyone here out that day?

BTW, I'm far from a regular hunter (last went out about 4 years ago) and this is not my local hunt.

What a brilliant video!

 

[Kallibear]

Fabulous video. And makes me desperately want Roo to hurry up and be old enough to hunt.

Interesting video and good to see little children out having fun too But was I the only one watching whose heart was in their mouth at the idea of cantering/ galloping along roads with cars heading towards you?

 

[Lambkins]

^ me too :/

 

[Hutchlou]

Makes me appreciate that I'll always be too much of a wuss to go hunting!!

 

[nix123]

I must admit i go hunting but i dont think i would like to canter on the roads, let alone for that length of time. The cars wouldn't bother me or my horse its just the impact damage on their legs i'd be worried about.

I'll have to go and have a lie down after watching that!

The link doesn't work for me

I prefer to the let mine do a slow canter than a spanking trot if we're on the roads. Fab video!

I was at that meet on foot, had a lovely day out following, winter sunshine all day! Remember spotting William F-P and it confusing me! Actually, come to think of it, I remember spotting someone with a camera on his head! Will have to watch the whole of the video later when I have time!

Amazing video

 

[RunToEarth]

Agree with copperpot - I hunt regularly and would much rather have a controlled canter on the road that a hammering trot. Wonderful video, now itching for Saturday

 

[Dizzleton]

Was that Will F-P at the beginning of the video too?

 

[Auslander]

Fab vid, although my grandfather would have sent me home if he caught me cutting people up like that!

That's 105 more than I jump, Glamourpuss! I love watching headcam videos (although I don't hunt). Thanks for sharing!

Loved watching that. Butterflies in my tummy with the gallop after the wall. Did notice he wasn't plaited (only joking!!!).

 

[ameeyal]

Wow I was gripped watching that, you must need a sane horse for hunting, one of mine is a section b, he would have over taken everyone, and I wouldn't have been seen again.

 

[legaldancer]

Great video, but it reminded me if why I don't go anymore! (Big wimp!)

We used to canter on the road if necessary, but for shorter distances than on there, but there wasn't a verge on that stretch that I could see. Imagine if you slipped :-O

My last statement says it all about my current state of mind!

 

[buddylove]

I'll have to go and have a lie down after watching that!

definitely!!! I am exhausted, he looked a bit of a handful, I would have been much sweatier/dead by the end of that. Still really want to go though if anyone has a large pair of brave pants!!

 

[chestnut cob]

Is that WFP the camera man is talking to at the start?!

 

[meesha]

flippin fantastic !!! headcam horse is certainly very keen !

 

[arizonahoney]

LOVE this. Kick on and keep on hunting!

 

[Honey08]

Lovely video, but didn't like the cantering on the road and wanted to plait his horse up! Also didn't like how they all just cantered past right next to the man struggling to catch a loose horse and turn it round!

 

[Mahoganybay]

Bloody hell, fab video, but cantering on the road (slippy tarmac as well) into oncoming traffic, yikes!!

It is something i would love to do, but i just don't have the guts unfortunately, have the perfect hunter, steady, leg in each corner, fantastic jumper too, but just no balls.....

 

[Honey08]

You just have to have lots of stirrup cup Mahogany Bay!

My "jump anything, get you out of trouble, leg at each corner" horse is too brave and would be going mental in those queues for fences!

What a brilliant vid, thanks for sharing!

Cantering on the roads is what road nails were invented for
