Great Vlog! Love the Nar Valley Bloodhounds! Since you and " the girls" were there. Please do more of those! Lots of fun to watch your vlogs. Seems you're becoming more comfortable with it all. Well done.

[@footluceeventing]

Thank you Jennifer! I love the bloodhounds too, and such a lovely group of people 😊

[@kathleentaylor4059]

Wow that looked like so much fun. Reminds me of when I worked a couple of months in a hunting yard and had the joy of exercising the horses on the gallop hunt track. Loved watching ❤️

[@footluceeventing]

It was awesome! So glad you liked it 😊

[@brookehartson7319]

This looks so fun! I'm not sure my horse would be very well-behaved, but I definitely want to give this a try! Now go order that GoPro pin so we can get some footage from between Laragh's ears💜

[@footluceeventing]

Laragh was terrible when I first took her out a few years ago 🙈 she’s much better these days! I now have my GoPro pin woop!!

[@sophieroberts9928]

Oh my gosh that looks so fun!! I’m in Aus but it’s long been a bucket list item for me to ride in an English hunt 😍

[@donnajeffery8267]

I love the way that when you put Laragh back out and she was rolling and you took the chance to say hello to the newbies she saw you and run in between you and them as if to say that’s my mum find your own and keep away bless her thank you for taking us along it was fun to watch

[@footluceeventing]

So glad you enjoyed it Donna 😊

[@milliebond2948]

Is this the one you did with Meg and teena and stuff like the same people producing it and the same hounds

[@sydneyhockneyeventing5508]

Going to Semer team chasing? 😁

[@footluceeventing]

Oooo you guessed it!! 👏

[@miaandthehorses7871]

Out of topic but anyone seen the new advert, creme egg golden gleep ( I think ) It’s quite scarring.

[@naunettemartin7450]

You ride so nice and I like it

[@Claire-kt2yd]

How come you don’t use saddle pads? Like bruh why just the saddle?

[@larkynhendren9854]

what lmao all of them used saddle pads but some used fitted pads that only go where the saddle goes

[@Claire-kt2yd]

@@larkynhendren9854 ohhh ok lol

[@AmandaHoranGoBookYourself]

Is this a live hunt or drag hunt?

[@footluceeventing]

This is Bloodhounding, they chase people 😊

[@helensmart8521]

@@footluceeventing I thought the guys in bunny ears were hilarious. I assume they were the prey but how would they get far enough for you to have such a long run?!

[@charliestaley588]

First

[@lesleyallinson8738]

I thought fox hunting was banned in uk

[@larkynhendren9854]

this is blood hounding, not fox hunting!

[@hattie2525]

Hunting of all live quarry is banned. All hunts now follow a fake scent, usually a cloth soaked in blood/urine or in this case the scent of actual people who run ahead.

[@footluceeventing]

It is banned, these are bloodhounds- they chase people, as these people have kindly explained below too 😊

[@kristin1980uk]

@@hattie2525 Your comment only applies to fox hunting. Which this is not. Bloodhounds have only ever followed human scents and don’t hunt to kill, only find the person they are scenting. They are human tracker hounds. Basically if the hounds are foxhounds that’s fox/drag hunting. If bloodhounds then it is human hunting.

[@charliestaley588]

Your lucky you don’t gat any sabs

[@janetemmerson529]

Bloodhounds chase people for fun.

[@kristin1980uk]

It is blood-hounding not fox hunting, there is no reason for sabs to be there. Bloodhounds don’t ever chase animals and never have.

[@charliestaley588]

@@kristin1980uk I know but some of them are that thick that they don’t know the difference because they still sometimes come to my local blood hound meet.
