Moved back in to the area last year, having been away for a few years, and this season I actually have transport so can start getting out with the boy.
Any recommendations as to who to go with? Went out with the North Shrops a few times before I moved away but I don't think I know anyone who hunts with them anymore (though from looking at the website it looks like my old saddler is now a Joint Master!). Would want to start off autumn hunting and really just looking for a nice, welcoming and friendly hunt.
I wouldn't call myself a seasoned hunter but been out enough times to know what it's about. I would however call the horse a seasoned hunter; it's mostly all he has done with his life (now 15), knows what it's all about, absolutely loves it (despite my best efforts at turning him into a dressage pony :wink and I think would jump anything I pointed him at when he's following someone. I don't have a great desire to jump massive hedges, drops or ditches but happy enough over standard stuff. He is a big, strong chap but he knows his job and will just do what everyone else does.
I do know who is around this area so really looking for recommendations rather than just a list of local hunts.
