Which are the most jumpy / least jumpy meets?

 

[Simsar]

Anything around Newdigate, Rusper is Jumpy, everything else is less jumpy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[R2R]

They are holding a newcomers meet this year, which is a really good intro to hunting with them if you have not before...and you can ask when you meet everyone.

 

[arizonahoney]

The newcomers meet sounds great - but alas, I am on a plane back from the US on the same day

I would quite like to do some of the autumn hunting - although my horse is fine with dogs around, it might be a bit different with a working pack of hounds. But I understand that that's invitation only?

 

[R2R]

Where are you based?

 

[Simsar]

The early days are invite only but that is because of this years puppies, and that is the first two or three dates I think. I will ask Ian tomorrow and PM you.

 

[arizonahoney]

In Effingham, R2R - and thank you, Simsar.

 

[Simsar]

OK they have a newcomers week, and I will know the date later.

Round Ranmore Common was really non jumping friendly

 

[arizonahoney]

Just to clarify, I *do* jump, but on a first hunt I'd rather be able to easily opt out while I get my bearings, if you know what I mean?

Am very excited about it though

 

[Simsar]

LOL OK will get some dates for you.

But if you stick to my OP then you will be OK.

Ranmore common is perfect for you then, you can hack there in about half an hour - I used to live in Effingham too! (fabulous village innit... NOT!)

 

[arizonahoney]

(fabulous village innit... NOT!)

Effingham ******? What are you suggesting, you scamp?

 

[Simsar]

CA have put a post up about the week!

Nobody knows any dates as yet, right hand and left hand comes to mind.

No response keep an eye on the site and they might put the week up on that. x

I'm suggesting that 7 years was about 6 years and 364 days longer than should have been spent in the village...!

Ah, that'll be m'horse bringing down the tone of the place, what with him being one of those ***** coloured cobs and all

 

[natalia]

There's loads of non jumping days, and often a non jumping field master too, which is great as it means you can pick and choose a bit if your horse is green.

If you could PM the dates of easier meets that would be great. I used to hunt as a tennager, and then went to the newcomers meet and loved it!

I'm affraid you will have to contact kennels for dates, people don't just PM them.

 

[Henny]

Of course I am more than happy to contact the secretary for dates and exact locations. I was more hoping that someone who hunts with SU could help me out with some reccomendations of meets as I am relativily new to the area, and havent hunted for a long time.

I used to hunt with the Surrey Union years ago, and used to work for Mr Hammond one of the masters and looked after his horses Boxer and Gloria, I also used to look after Ian Gilchrists horse Basil and I sold my lovely big horse Rocky to Graham Rand.
