Just window shopping as you do on a Sunday night But the picture made made me cringe and it seems to have done quite a lot for a baby.. Thoughts? xx

i think it sounds a reasonable amount to have done and to be fair she could have just been out once or twice and just be very sensible so they claim she hacks. The photo however... 1. why would anyone do that to a 3 year old and 2. would that really appeal to a buyer? I would think yes she is sensible but her owners clearly are not

Ahh I didn't think about that, just from the overall mood you get the feeling she's been out a lot! And totally agree about the photo. Looks ridiculous, pointless, and just plain silly xx

i worked for a pro and everything that was broken in was hacked out a couple times as part of that, the other pro on the yard did not and very few that he broke would hack out without a fight. It's hard to say really without knowing all the information, depends on exact age, the actual amount they've done with her etc

It's not done too much at all - my lot all hacked out, in traffic, in their first week of backing, and out alone by the end of that week. How is a 10min hack worse than 10min in the school at 3yo?

I interpreted it wrong I think, I got the impression it had been out, done it, got the t-shirt and gone on a load of these hacks. My mistake. Still hate the picture though! xx

I was expecting to see an ad for something that had hunted/evented et al!

I don't condone the standing on his back, but all they say he has done is hack - how can that be too much? My 3yo could box too, I took her out to shows inhand as a youngster. What makes you think he has done an awful lot?

I was just under the impression they had been out for a load of long hacks all along motorways and all sorts, and stuff.. The more I read the responses the more I realise I was reading too much into it etc. My mistake! xx
