The trouble with the start of the season is...

[RunToEarth]

...that after the final hunt meet in March, after a pretty awesome day, looking forwards to a party and getting horse/tack/clothes clean I always put my hunting stock pin in a "safe place" until the following season.
Opening meet in on Saturday, and whilst I have a lot of very average stock pins, I really would love to know where I put my favourite hunting stock pin for safekeeping :smirk:
Bugger.

I did this and now can't find it. I really need to get a new one. I'm using a nappy pin at the moment!

I never gave it a second thought until OH's parents invited me to the opening meet as I've been in shirt and tie for cubbing. I can't think where I would have put it, it's not in any of my jewellery boxes, pockets, every sensible place.

Ah don't, I had this trouble at the weekend. Bought a lovely new stock pin in the summer and put it somewhere safe. So safe even I now can't find it.
Was hunting Saturday and so Thursday night went to get all my stuff and i couldn't find my stock or pin. Bought a new stock Friday, got my jacket out Saturday and the old stock was in my pocket. Idiot Still can't find my pin though.

Keep it pinned in your stock!! Your sorted then unless you lose your stock! I got to get a new one though, fell of last week and some how bent my stock pin!!

I keep mine pinned through the button hole on my jacket, or if I need to use the jacket without the pin I pin it on the inside of said jacket

My problem is where to get a good quality pin, I went through 3 pins last year because the pins are so cheap they bend and break with a good quality stock, where can you buy a good quality pin at a reasonable price.

Calcutts claim to sell unbendable pins.

Try St. Anthony if your that way inclined.

 

[larkwood]

What do you mean by "St. Anthony" and "that way inclined"?

 

[Tharg]

He's the patron saint of lost and stolen articles, 'that way inclined' means if you are any way religious
