Rider wanted to introduce horse to hunting in York area

Where would I be best advertising?

I'm thinking of covering costs as I just don't have time to go otherwise I would take her.

Has anyone got an arangement like this and if so has it worked?

Talk to local hunt secretaries. They tend to know everyone and everything and MOST hunts have a decent rider or two who get most of their hunting on other people's horses!

Hmmm. I've never been hunting (nor any idea of my local hunt to Leeds either!) but want to try to hunt mine a few times next year and I'd would be so much more confident taking him if I knew someone experienced in hunting had taken him first! He's not the quickest thinker on his feet and I've been told it'd teach him not rely on me all the time.

Ordinarily I'd be perfectly happy to try everything first time on him as I wouldn't expect anybody else to get on him if I wasn't prepared to but I can't see a stride as I don't have any 3D vision (I can't judge distance) so there is no way I could help him if he got into a muddle at speed as I need a couple of goes to learn how I can "see" a distance. (I can jump him just fine but i've learnt how to "guess" the best place to jump from - not a "guess" I would be confident taking out with a hunt!)

If there's anyone that has a safe hunter that could teach me a thing or two & fancies swapping for a bash round on a baby - he's 4yrs in April so he really is a baby (ex-flat racer) - then i'd well made up!
