Normal Wisdom piss off. Nothing wrong with fox hunting

We had a lovely time 😊 yeah she did amazing! Did all the massive hedges! 😬 I love watching the side saddle ladies jump 😍

Wow!! I know it was common years ago (and who knows it still could be) but that was so cool seeing the lady ride sidesaddle!

It's obviously less common now but still fairly popular! We normally get a few ladies side saddle 😊 there is also a hunt race just for them. Can't remember what it's called but it's incredible to watch!

[@sarahbennett5617]

I love this. Also I love seeing someone riding side saddle while on a hunt like this.

Enjoyed seeing the side-saddle. Like a classic snapshot in time with all the horses just need a few pink (red) coats and the hounds in view. Must be very exciting!!

going on your first hunt for what? its illegal to actually hunt foxes or are you gona be one of those self entitled spoilt brats that goes along with covering up any foxes killed as you and your peers claim its "a drag" hunt... how bout just get together with a group and go for a ride its just as fun

[@jayjayx3296]

What is drag hunting and also a very good video and I can see that you love your horse dearly x

[@Equinologee]

It's when the hunt and hounds follow a trail. A runner is sent off on a pre determined route trailing a cloth that has been soaked in a human made scent that the hounds are trained to sniff out 😊 x

[@emqui6226]

@@Equinologee you forgot to mention that fact real fox scents are trailed and sometimes your hounda go off course and start mauling the foxes, but off course people like your self will always get away with what ever ya want calling it a drag hunt is the biggest joke out. there is no need for hunting why not just go on a big group ride to make your selves better

[@kristin1980uk]

@@emqui6226 Totally irrelevant on this video though. This is bloodhounding and not fox/drag hunting. Bloodhounding has never been fox hunting. Just look at the hounds, they are not fox hounds. Bloodhounding is 100% kill free as bloodhounds only track humans, like a human tracker dog. There is no scent laid, but just a human runner will run a few miles just before the hounds. There is no kill at the end, only the bloodhounds waggy tailed when they see the runner at the end. They track to find, never kill. You are confusing it with what was fox hunting, which is now illegal and is now referred to quite often as drag hunting. They still use fox hounds which now follows a fox urine scent laid by a runner, but should a fox cross the path, the foxhounds can go off the urine trail and follow a live fox. In future just look at the hounds: Foxhounds = foxhunting/drag hunting. Bloodhounds = human hunting/tracking 100% kill free.

Late squad!!!!!! Go cari

[@lunamay2097]

Can someone please explain to me the difference between this and fox hunting (which I completely do not support) or other hunting I don’t understand the different hunting’s..

[@heroineofdarkness8439]

If you’re still interested here’s an answer. Fox hunting usually covers any animals hunting including deer, wild boars or coyotes. This hunting is illegal in the uk but is allowed in places like Ireland, France and America. Trail hunting is an alternative to fox hunting by a human using animal urine to lay the route, only the field master and whip ins should know the route so they will control the hound from going off route. Drag hunting uses bloodhounds instead of fox hounds. Bloodhounds are used to track humans or an artificial scent. This avoids an possible accidents of the dogs going off course after an animal but again the field master should know the route. I hope this helps

[@S5.RACING]

I missed it lot of here in Pakistan now i have horse so very soon i enjoy like this but im alone here no one with me i hope i enjoy

[@aleciawalford3224]

i have a question, for every jump there is, is there like an open gate if you horse wont jump it? like is there flat ground besdie every jump for a horse to just walk through?

[@Equinologee]

If there isnt a bit next to the jump there is always a gate/gap further down the hedge or whatever. We have a non jumping group at every hunt so they need a place to get past so would just go through where they go :)

[@maygill4114]

you can just tell she loves being rid btw what is drag hunting??

I really want to try hunting but I’m a bit nervous! Before me my pony has hunted since he was 4 I think I’d have no control ! Any tips for first timers like me ? :)

[@Equinologee]

Is go on fun rides so you get the feel for him! Then go cubbing (hound exercise) this is slower pace and more relaxed as it's to get the hounds fit! Then you can find a hunt that has an optional jumping group if you're nervous about jumping! 😊 Don't mind switching bits if you have to, I switch bits 3 times before I found the right one out hunting 😁

[@kami6414]

Amazing ❤️😏

[@heloisebeylot9241]

How did u get the lose horse , I hope the two are ok

[@wilsonmy11yroschnauzerswl76]

Why do some people in hunts canter sitting in the saddle (like you would In an arena) whereas others canter in cross country position? I ride but I don’t understand why some people do it differently. Personal preference maybe? more comfortable for the horse?

[@Equinologee]

Think it's personal preference and situation. If it's a short/slow canter I'll tend to sit back as more comfortable but If we are galloping I'll stand up 😅

[@wilsonmy11yroschnauzerswl76]

Equinologee ok! 😂 sorry for making you reply to me heaps of times! You replied to me about an hour ago about your name being Caitlin! 😂 I’ve just been binge watching your videos!

[@astrocloudtheequestrian3039]

I’m going hunting in the spring! I’m so excited! Fox hunting looks so fun, and I’m obsessed with it. My riding instructor wants to take me and my friends, and we did fox hunting “practice” in my last lesson! The only thing I need to work on is staying with my group because my pony is very speedy. I’m hoping my riding instructor lets us gallop and jump higher jumps soon. Also, does anyone know where the best places are in Maryland to go fox hunting?

[@pasnghetti]

Like FOX fox hunting? Or.........?

Great vid but there is never a water bucket in sight at these events after the horse has just done a marathon with a lump on its back?

[@Equinologee]

I always take water. The container is in the trailer and the bucket is in the car. Thankyou for the concern though 😊

[@beckyjones5722]

But how long does that take to get your horses back? Why are there not water butts at the end?

[@Polopony20.]

becky jones because it’s not safe for horses to drink (or eat) right after a run, they must cool off first, or risk colicing which is very dangerous and possibly deadly to horses

when did someone fall?

What’s a ‘ hunt ‘ ?

[@Equinologee]

Traditionally it's where hounds and horse riders track down foxes to kill. Nowadays as it's illegal in the UK we do drag hunting which is where the hunt (hounds and horse riders) follow a human made scent that's dragged along a predetermined route across the country.

Your stance on real fox hunt?

[@Polopony20.]

Lily Stone it’s illegal in the UK so they don’t like it I think it’s fine as you really only catch the old, hurt, or sick ones that nature would cull anyway. And it’s fairer then hiding with a gun and blasting their head off when they can’t see you
