Hi All - I am going to visit the next Ascot Bloodstock Sales and wanted a bit of advice - well actually, any advice would be good!
But, specifically - the qualifications for PTP ing.
I believe the qualification is that the horse must have hunted but how much? I mean, can you just roll up at the meet with said horse, trot down the road with hunt and then load back up on one day? Or must you have spent much more time/days?
Can I very wrongly assume that a horse that has PTP ed and therefore hunted has been school to a reasonable level like a "normal" hunter ie you can get on it normally (not legged up at walk), that it will bascule over a fence, have an understanding of aids - stop would be good?
God, now I sound like a complete numpty - I do actually have 30 years worth of horse owning (pony, TB, TB, WB, IDx) experience! But I have NEVER done this before!!
Thank you for any help!
