Saffy's first hunt (pics)

[katherine1975]

Hi. Here are some pictures of Saffy's first outing. She is eight years old and I adopted her from WHW as a six year old. We have been mainly hacking since I got her as we don't have a school. My friend took her hunting for me as I'm a chicken! She was well behaved and didn't buck at all (normally bucks when cantering on hacks!). Looking forward to the rest of 2012, we have found a school to hire so will get cracking this year

Setting off:

she looks like she's taken it all in her stride! credit to you and WHW! are you feeling braver about taking her yourself, or will you let your friend take her again?

Hi. Thank you for your comments, I'll let my friend take her a few times and see if I can find some courage from somewhere!

Well done Saffy, she looks like a seasoned pro; and well done to WHW . Katherine1975 you should aim to go yourself next year. Most hunts hold beginners and intro to hunting meets, aim for one of those. Everyone looks really relaxed in the pics . Think I need to move to Devon and hunt with the East Devon
