Opening meet fun

‪@footluceeventing‬ introduces Narvalley Bloodhounds opening meet clean boot hunting which means we hunt human runners no false scent just their natural odour on a Sunday

[@JenniferJCouch]

Great vlog. The still photos were absolutely lovely!!!!!! Thank you! Stay safe. 💙🐎😎

[@user-re1hy6if7d]

A special thank you for the low-volume background music that stayed in the background and didn't overwhelm. Gorgeous hounds, horses, scenery, people. Perfect.

[@justinewardeventing]

Thank you

[@juliajensen7973]

Your rapport with the horses in your life is just fantastic! They respect and adore you very much. That speaks volumes.

[@justinewardeventing]

I do adore them all too ( poss adore the thumbtaker is a bit much!!!) 😂

[@janeminwell4395]

Loving your vlogs! The sound of hounds and the horn, will, hopefully never vanish from the British countryside.

[@reneowens2768]

Loved this vlog. Thanks for letting us hear the hounds!

[@suzannechance5876]

Your work load and responsibilities are tremendous. I enjoyed this. Thanks

[@patsmythe]

Thank you Justine for the exciting ride/days. The past memories of me riding in Newstead Abbey park and Sherwood Forest always come fkooding back when I see you out and about. Super horses and people. Great vlog.

Yet another fab video. Gorgeous horses and hilarious content 😊

So much to accomplish to ensure each meet goes smoothly. If I was around, Justine, I'd be happy to come plait the ponies down for you - it gives me a little quiet and peace to myself. Wonderful vlog!

Thank you

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Just imagine in past days hearing the hounds as they hunted you. Scary as. That sidesaddle rider's horse was just my type and I do love Bloodhounds and hounds in general. It looked like a lovely day.

[@fionajane6081]

Thoroughly entertaining video as usual Justine! One had to have a good giggle with Lucy's intro, very good! ❤

[@justinewardeventing]

Glad you enjoyed it! We have lots of laughs !!!

[@janl8683]

Looked like you all had a brill time 😊❤

[@sarahcooper3378]

What a fabulous day. After the previous rain you must all have been very happy to get some sunshine. So much work involved getting not just one, but 6 ready for the day.......impressive. Loved seeing the lady riding side saddle. She was very elegant.

[@justinewardeventing]

She did look so elegant

[@christinedavies336]

What a great start to the season Justine and the Nar Valley Blood Hounds! 🎉 🤗 xOx

[@egeegee7146]

Have to agree. Full cry is music and such a thrill.

[@barryandjackypowell8239]

Nice to see someone riding sidesaddle! Hope she enjoyed it.

[@kippen64]

The rain looked miserable.

[@RosieDhoopun]

What a great day thanks for taking us with you - I'd love to join you. So lovely to see a side saddle rider out.

[@alisonwilks302]

I am SO jelly !! I would love to be the runner or a rider . It looks absolutely fab so keep the videos coming - they are great fun to watch ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolinehorton7920]

I really enjoyed the still photos at the end of the video. I had no idea how many people, and horses, there were.

[@amandajaynesanderson8664]

Hello Justine 👋 bit late watching this but absolutely loved it, the atmosphere, the beautiful Norfolk countryside, and the way you put this vlog together was wonderful to watch!! Really felt like I was there with you all, plus your just so naturally funny and laid back, makes me smile every time 🤗 ....ps I'm from (Sheffield) and the floods have been terrible for some!!) Xxx

Looks like such a fabulous day out. Wish i was still riding. The horses all looked so smart and clearly enjoying their day out as were the hounds.

What a fabulous birthday weekend! I was surprised the fields had drained so well.

[@justinewardeventing]

We are very light land here !!!!

[@fion1flatout]

What a contrast between Friday and Sunday. We're halfway up North and same here

[@ljmequestrian504]

Loving this content, so glad you’re vlogging it! Looking forward to Charlie’s vlog and hopefully one on your eventing history, job, etc.

Coming soon!

I absolutely loved it ❤ thank you for sharing your amazing day - incredible!!

[@hannesofie6071]

I love the hunting wlogs! Wish I could participate...... But I'm in Norway, and though I used to train eventers 20 + years ago I'm not fit for this anymore! 😢 Love watching you all and all the great horses!!! 🥰🥰 Please continue to make videoes like this one!!!

[@justinewardeventing]

Thank you

[@clairesuzanne1276]

Such a shame you're in Norfolk (for me not you 😂 ) as I'd would love to follow the hounds.... but this is a great way to watch you guys.... you work so hard to make people feel special ❤

[@ceciliavondehn4402]

As a fair weather watcher from my armchair enjoying the basic barn routine and hunt prep as much as the hunt!

[@janeminwell4395]

Same!

[@sturdygirl7772]

Seems like y’all had a great day😊 with sunshine ☀️ do you have a blessing of the hounds? I have a Foxhound retired from the local hunt. He’s mostly silent but gives great hugs! 🤗 I do love a hound voice 😊❤

[@justinewardeventing]

We have done before. We rehome our retired ones too they make fantastic pets

[@happydays7143]

These are great vlogs, hope you have a lovely birthday 🎉

[@andreamurison7225]

I had no idea that this type of "hunt" existed! How cool! (Might have just told my bf that as he does trail running, I could HUNT him. hahaha.) Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisdouglass7962]

Happy Birthday Justine 🥰🥰 looked like a great day ❤

[@justinewardeventing]

Thank you

[@meredithingram9384]

What a terrific day! I have so many questions! How big was your field? That looked like a lot of riders. How many hounds? What distance is each line usually? And how do you find the runners? A great matching of otherwise very different sports. Thanks for sharing your day!😀

[@justinewardeventing]

We had 55 riders We had 5 couple out Normally each line is approx 2.5 miles Runners are all friends or people who have phoned up to say please May I run who have become friends!!!

[@ginnyferguson3772]

Great fun. How,m are the new horses you got 4 months ago doing? You promised updates!! ❤

[@justinewardeventing]

Coming soon!

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Hi all, do you mean don't do this at home. Unless YOU have well trained horse's that YOU can truest .And all the best for the hunting season. And take care all.

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Well, horses do the daftest things when you least expect it!

[@angemoorhead5496]

Greys out in MUD omg 😂 you need hoods with zips so much easier and with the burrs buy a can of spray coconut oil much cheaper than your fancy horse anti Tangier’s but does a great job -

[@justinewardeventing]

Thanks for the tips!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Tfs Justine that was great fun for all of you plus the sun was shining so made it even better. Do you and Charlie still have those two horses you bought a few months back? I remember one been a tb. Just wondering if they were out hunting. Great clip tfs😎🏇😎

[@justinewardeventing]

Yes till was on global - one of them the other is having some time off he had had a lot of runs so but if a hard time so we giving him a holiday

Oh cool Global I’ll look out for him next time Ty 👍@@justinewardeventing

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

Belated Happy Birthday! It was hubby's on the 20th and we brewed beer. As usual a great video. Two questions. Firstly, as Mozette is a brother to Brody (I believe) does he do XC? Secondly, do they still do 3-day XC at Goodwood?

[@justinewardeventing]

Mozette isn’t closely related to brody but he is from the same stud. He does do xc but I had originally got him because he had fallen out of love with jumping. He has rediscovered it now but is quirky when on his own. And no they don’t do anything at good wood anymore. Xx

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

Shame about Goodwood. I guess now it's just Horse racing and Motor stuff. Here I am in Virginia known for horses such as the great Mill Reef & Secretariat and there is hardly anything close by me unless you are a Foxhunter. Hugs to Mozette.@@justinewardeventing

[@raisingari]

Hi justine i love watching your videos you are a fantasic horsewoman! I was wondering who, if any of the original hounds still hunt? Im from the isle of wight and used to hunt with the iow farmers bloodhounds 😊

[@justinewardeventing]

We have breckan Belfast and some of the puppies we have rehomed many of them and the chairman of the bloodhounds has several of the older ones too

[@raisingari]

Aw that's fantastic, you seem like such a fun and friendly bunch! Gutted your about 5 hours away. I'd love to hunt with bloodhounds again. Enjoy your season Justine and Charlie!❤

[@starstablediaries]

Do you guys hunt in Dorset I go to school there and the hunt came last summer!

[@justinewardeventing]

No sadly not we are in norfolk

There is an app called equi lab

He did get his rug caught one day after he literally jumped in and out 5 times right before my eyes - he was just doing it for fun……but he fell when he got it caught and only did it once after that and hasn’t done it for ages but I’m very careful not to leave him out on his own if I’m not around…..
