Equestrian fox hunting in Ireland

[@awxhalo5009]

my horse used to be a fox hunter but then he moved to a different barn and was completely neglected, no food, no water, and tied to a shed. he was pure bone. he also became blind in one eye so he licks to get to know you. now he’s a jumper and he trusts me with all his heart. so to simply priceless (henry) i love you. :)

[@equine2020]

Confused. Didn't you visit him everyday or at least once a week? When my one was in training, I drove every day to check on him. He was my top proprietary. Then he came home. All was OK.

[@equine2020]

Didn't you visit him? At least on weekends?

[@Moony.fairyy]

@@equine2020they likely didn’t own the horse was probs just the horse they used to ride at that barn etc

[@TheBlueOwl21]

Superb horsemanship shown here ! And what well behaved hounds. 👍

[@scotty6346]

Yes because the hound's and horses are beaten to $hit with whips and stick's if they don't keep in line you Dum dum.

[@0kansas]

As a horse rider, I don’t understand how you can ask something so dangerous and painfully to your horse.

[@borisfargo1290]

Horses enjoy it😅

[@equine2020]

These horses are trained professionals. And they love this. They wouldn't endure the hunt if not capable of doing it. These riders know the potential of their horse. And any true horse person never asks more than their horse can. I've hunted for years. My qualified hunter enjoy the outing. Once only 5 of us remained in the field after the hunt was over. We wanted more, but let the horses

[@equine2020]

But let the horses decide. They could see the stables. But all 5 horses turned back into the hunt country. No guidance from us, we threw away the reins. Another hr & we came in. Even when I'd put him & my other thoroughbred in my schooling field, he'd run & jump over the jumps kicking his heels up. If the horse is in a discipline they are capable of doing ,& trained right, yes they enjoy their jobs.

[@equine2020]

Remember we're risking our necks too. If we think a particular jump is too difficult, we'll seek another path.

[@equine2020]

Pls, if you're not experienced in horses& the disciplines, don't say the horse is being abused. We ask nothing of our horses that we won't do. If the horse 🐴 is trained for its job. They like it. My hunter always gets excited going to a meet. I'd say the horses these people hunt are well cared for. My horse always comes 1st before me. My meals & bath comes after I've gotten him settled in. 3ft of straw. Nice meal & water. And this after I rub him down & groom him. I'd die before he'd be hurt. I've sat all night with him if he's off a bit. He loves his job.

[@vindheimar2631]

wow well done of the little girl on the pony who did not fell off after the dich or during the dich. Wonderful pony doing its best even thought he/she got trubbled with the big horse

[@panamapatti3364]

5.29, 6:32 good rides, 6:45, poor horse. 8:34, yup stay in bed and leave the impatient kid home too. Such a good little pony

[@oioi1034]

This just reminded me why i don’t like double ditches 😅

[@outoftownr3906]

Get that stupid ditch sorted😂

[@boybye7986]

All I could think about the poor horses ankles

[@heidicarman9097]

Brian my heart is in my throat with the first double oxer jump. 🌻

[@brishorl]

Get them warmed up for the day ahead. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@becky8742]

Good to see you back. Hope you are all well

[@brishorl]

Great to be back. How long we'll get out of it is anyone's guess. 🙄🙄🙄

[@Roheryn100]

Has your huntsman retired ? I used to admire his control over hounds when unboxing !

[@brishorl]

No. He's still there but some days he takes a back seat and let's that other girl hunt. Thanks for watching.

[@Roheryn100]

@@brishorl Thank you. I commented too soon ; I saw him later in the video !

[@martinmorland9597]

Superb the best hunting footage as always welcome back

[@Leeeuuuhhh]

Love your videos from Seattle, Wa. USA

[@brishorl]

Thanks for watching

[@elisebrown3163]

It’s absolutely disgusting that someone could do this to their horse. It’s asking for a broken leg. These people obviously don’t care about their horses

[@Gortzy10]

Just shows that some humans are a cancer to this earth

[@pumpkinhead8593]

Well they fox hunt. Can't expect someone who delights in watching an animal being torn apart by a pack of dogs to give a hoot about his horse's well being.

[@padraicclarke3063]

Awe let me tell you ticko its a brilliant day out.

[@brishorl]

What's a hoot?

[@equine2020]

Ok outlaw all hunters!!! At least foxhunting, the injured animal shot or hit with an arrow is allowed to crawl away to suffer a long painful death slowly bleeding to death. Foxes are predators, kill livestock & pets. Farmers ask we hunt. Plus others also hunt foxes. Give it a rest. We only ask from our horse what we're doing. And we know the capabilities of our horse. They're trained for this. Of course it's a dangerous sports. Many are. Do you condem & stop them? Or is it deep down jealousy you feel?

[@susantunbridge4612]

No strained ligaments or wrecked shoulder joints/fetlocks/knees in these hunts.

[@kathyadams3902]

Missed you all. Glad things are returning to normal.

[@brishorl]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching.

[@barrythompson5631]

Wow difficulty there, but the youngster in red/hat at 9 minutes did really well, loved the video..

[@bodon2306]

Great video. Well ridden everyone!

[@tracycullen7275]

I feel so bad for the horses and ponies. They are forced to do something so dangerous and if they don’t do it they get whipped, smacked and kicked!

[@Joe-ng9ny]

Tracy Cullen I ride, and if the horse or pony refused to jump, then the horse or pony deserves to be whipped hard.

[@tracycullen7275]

@@Joe-ng9ny good morning joe and a very happy holiday to you. Thank you for your response, however the original reply was my daughter who was using my KZbin account at the time for a number of years, as this comment was 11 months ago that would make her only 12 at the time, I suppose I don’t whip my children hard when they don’t do what I ask and I’m guessing in her mind set of comparison as a 12 year old this sport makes no sense to her. I think there could be an educational response that our older, “wiser” generation could give to explain why this is rather than just trolling on a platform and giving reactive responses to the audience. But thanks again for your reply I’ll be sure to let her know how hard you whip your horse when he doesn’t do as you ask and a very happy new year to you.

[@j.c.764]

The crops are used as a non painful cue (familiar message) to the horse. Inflicting pain would not help the riders goal of continuing through the bog, etc.

[@joe7965]

​@@j.c.764Padded whip does not hurt the horse, but i ride out with a normal crop, which is better.

[@debbiegoodyear5963]

Great video again... I hope the rider who fell of the beautiful grey (white) horse was ok...

[@kevinturner5857]

She broke her back 😂🤣🤘👍💩

[@annabellevankatwijk4541]

Nice to see you guys back

[@brishorl]

Thank you. Great to be back.

[@user-pe2mh5px7h]

The child on the pony doesn't know the first thing about the etiquette and rules of hunting. I hope she was disciplined by the master at hunt's end.

[@brishorl]

Which child??

[@user-pe2mh5px7h]

@@brishorl The child who sent her pony on to the rise between banks while there was a rider already there in mid-jump.

[@cianclarke3727]

I love hunting since I was 1

[@kevinturner5857]

Tally-ho master Fox sir 😁👍

[@susantunbridge4612]

One wonders if they're deliberately trying to ruin their horses going up that muddy bank. Find another spot, for godsake!!! Hunting in Ireland always looks like a sh-show in these videos.
