I know adults of 40+ who hunt on ponies, so no age limit!

There's beagles, harriers, drag hunts and foxhounds (tho the law means that fox hound is only a name)

jumping is always optional, and varies from ditches to full blown hedges, walls and everything in between.

the distance you cover depends on the land you are hunting over. On a moor day we barley go 5 miles from the boxes, on a lowland day we can cover 10+ miles.

What type of jumps you have will largely depend on where you are. Here in the Peaks we are Stone walls, stone walls, and more stone walls. If I go back home to Ireland its hedges and ditches all the way, with the odd wire.
