What happens or is heard out hunting stays out hunting

[Judgemental]

On the basis of the old adage, 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' (which seems to have, shall we say, not been respected recently) I felt a timely and topical reminder to all concerned, especially the younger entry that the same applies to hunting.

Especially bearing in mind the recent and unforgivable intrusion into private Royal life in France.

Whatever you hear, whatever you see, who with and whatever happens, stays in the hunting field.

The use of camera's on mobile 'phones, should in my opinion be considered as bad as, 'kicking a hound' in which case you should be sent home and told not to come out again on that particular horse or pony.

Unless of course it is being used in gathering evidence against unacceptable, so called 'hunt monitor' activity.

Oh god I laughed so much I sprayed my tea everywhere. Absolutely priceless. Satire I assume.

I referred to your Public Profile and your Biography which says;

"Mad middle aged lady with whacking great big Friesian mare".

One can of course trust in your complete confidence?

I assume the satire to which you refer is bare all and say nothing.

Agreed Judgemental. We have had an email relaying similiar sentiments from our Hunt Commitee - facebook etc are dangerous things and only too easy for events to be misconstrued.

Sorry to hear about your accident Paulag - re the above, I can only assume you received a knock to your head?!

 

[WestCoast]

I know that must be it - how could anyone ever misconstrue what happens out hunting.

You guys are comedy genius.

This reminds me of my husband's sporting club's motto though - "what happens on tour, stays on Facebook". But that mostly refers to drunken sexual shenanigans which I'm sure never go in between members of hunts - no sireeeee.

Sorry I forgot for a moment I should know my place. I really promise not to stray onto hunting again.

 

[L&M]

Tee hee - yet another misconception about hunting!

I wish we had some 'drunken sexual shenanigans' to report, but sadly our pack is boringly clean, as is predominately made up of housewives and oap's!!

(Aplogies Judgemental for deviating from what is a serious post.)

I have a vision of shall we say, a lady with good confirmation on this great black horse, mane streaming in the wind, the feltlock hair flouncing in abundance, tail held highish, thundering towards me...........

Really rather exciting, mad and middle aged too.

Oh I see there is mention of a husband, how facinating rather than exciting.

The very idea that anybody who hunts is the teeniest bit of a tippler and indulges in, what did you suggest, "sexual shenanigans" is so absurd that it is rather like suggesting the Labour Party will repeal the Hunting Act 2004.

With one, or both, assuming male plumage, I shouldn't wonder.

You guys need I take up drag hunting - from what I remember there was some quite wild after hunt parties going on. I was of course too young to understand theses things.

 

[EAST KENT]

Mmm,must have missed out somewhere,I was always too bothered about what the fox was up to and too cold and wet to have my mind stray.As I would face a long hack home as well nothing could be further from my mind..but do come on Paulag,spill the beans! Maybe it is sparkier up your way.

 

[WestCoast]

Funnily enough, I've just noticed your user name. It was actually in Westerham in Kent. Sadly though it was the 1980's - not a decade traditionally known for it's bed hopping. Luckily though my involvement only went as far as getting my bottom felt, and being 16 at the time I grabbed said hand, held it in the air and loudly asked "WHOSE IS THIS HAND ON MY BOTTOM?"

 

[skint1]

I will probably never ride in a hunt but I'm really intrigued, what exactly do y'all do out there?! :-D

Obviously not a member of the Tiverton Staghounds then, when a certain huntmaster thought he was above the law at the hunt ball.

 

[Nicnac]

Surely not in Westerham Paulag? The WK hunt (or OSBWK as it's now known) are paragons of virtue - there are absolutely no shenanigans ongoing or ever have been (oh dear, my nose just hit the screen).

I am in the fair town of 6 + 1 big trees just up the road

That was a terrible story. What he did is just wrong. It was an absolutely dreadful thing to do. But please, please don't try and score anti-hunting points out of it . What he did for a living is totally irrelevant

Anyway, sadly my hunt is incredibly dull as well, the gossip is all too often a little thin! We need livening up a little bit, I think.

I did say, "what happens or is heard out hunting stays out hunting".

The unfortunate matter to which you refer did not happened out hunting and it was reported in the press as a wholly secular issue to that of hunting.

I believe you are the first person who has the unmitigated bad taste to mention it in this forum.

Furthermore, it was so shocking that it served as a very forceful and robust reminder to everybody who hunts, that their conduct has to be wholly above reproach, lest they bring the sport into disrepute.

Oh and just for the record, I am not a member of that most excellent hunt.

 

[WestCoast]

That really isn't the same thing as a bit I'd consentual (if possibly extra marital) bed hopping at all.

Indeed. It thoroughly disgusted me when I saw certain anti groups on the internet using this as proof of how 'awful hunting people are' and how they think that they are 'above the law' in all aspects. They, it seems will use anything to try and damage hunting as a whole. Remember, things like this happen in all sections of society. How low can these people sink?

This hunt is pretty local to me. I think that everyone was extremely shocked (myself included), but have kept quiet about it. I do not know the man in question personally, but many people I know do. You can understand why people don't want to discuss this very sad case. I feel very sorry for the victim, as well as the huntsman's own family

Anyway, very sorry to move away from the original discussion, which is of course that things said out hunting must stay there.

Oh dear I think I just killed a thread.

Apologies.

 

[EAST KENT]

Snorts well no,it is too interesting to die just yet.We did have some intrigue down this way some years back,the air being thick with passion for a while.Everyone loves a red coat don`t they?Then it all went a bit dull cos they got married,but for a while it was interesting.

 

[WestCoast]

I just saw this in the window of my local bookshop and for some reason thought Judgemental might appreciate it. See front cover photo - not me I hasten to add. I would scare the horse.

Crumbs!

There was a serious doubletake going on I can tell you.

That's it. Have a horse, finally, whom I think will be sane enough to go hunting and this thread has tipped the balance.

Have dug out my most important item now to prepare myself. Forget the camera phone, the hip flask is FAR more important!

Tell me - was it the talk of sexual shenanigans or the farmer's wives calendar that finally did it?

[TrasaM]

Just looked at some of the back issue calendars!! That explains the level of farm accidents then..all that loose tackle is a major H&S risk!

Never wanted to go on a hunt but now I am intrigued...it's just like telling a child that whatever they do they must not open a box!!

The potential of the former! baby horse is completely dog proof now after some pretty hairy times with my dogs. Good out hacking, getting bolder.....and I really did enjoy my times out hunting previously. Though of course that is ALL I can say!

Interesting how the majority of posters on this thread appear to be female?
