Nearly jumped it backwards lol 😆

it reminds of my old little 13.1 cob x, the sideways walking and everything!

His name is jaxx we call him edgy 😂

Same!but it was a bay type coat😊

trust me its really not that bad, and you dont have too jump. all you do is hang on and gallop. if you have a spinner rearer or kicker it is harder but all they wanna do is go forward and they are exited, as i said yu js gotta hang on

absolutely! and with the younger horses, they get to deal with large groups of unfimiliar horses

Jessica Pratt ... The think to do when out hunting, well so I found out, was to let the horse do the work. You are not in a show ring and there are lots of others around you. Point the horse and let him sort it out for you.

@@rosemarydudley9954 I was told that from a friend who does the trail hunting but the height looks terrifying lol

Especially the second time you go over! It's so easy to lose your nerve jumping or hunting and I know many really good riders who lose their nerve and never get it back!.

He was out Christmas Eve too - that’s where I met him first.

@@msgpoloeventing hunts a lot I understand, he posts a lot on his insta. I love to see jockeys out riding not just race horses.

Literally praises the horse @5.10

i agree!

agreed

out hunting there is sometimes no choice.

Somewhat used to it by now !!

@@msgpoloeventing . big faller offer then are we??? ha ha ha ha

Why is it nice to see a horse ridden in a double bridle ??

@@jobond3317 It gives the rider more control over the horse, which in this situation is very much needed.

@@carm3leon What you mean is, it allows the rider to inflict more pain with less effort. I guess that's nice, if you're into that. Certainly not nice for the horse.

@@pumpkinhead8593 A double bridle doesn't always mean more pain for the horse, it depends on which one you decide to get and the expertise of the rider. I do admit that jumping with a double bridle isn't exactly the best option out of the bunch.

@@carm3leon Which ones don't cause pain? What would be the point if they didn't? The only reason a double bridle gives you more control is that it gives the rider more leverage and allows for more pressure and pain to be inflicted on the horse's mouth. What other reason is there for using a double bridle?

Lourdés was thoroughly checked for thorns and trotted up - I’m also lucky but a bit scratched up

@@msgpoloeventing - I read your reply a while after I wrote my comment about the thorns etc...good man.

Combination of soap off the tack and sweat off the horse - a good sign of soft, clean tack.

I’ll have a look, planning next season now!!

Yes it does. It's fine though, she loves it. Also loves being whipped, spurred and having a metal bit tear up her mouth at the hands of a rider who got buzzed before getting on. It's fun, those horses are having a great time. The fox loves it too, I'm sure. Getting chased and torn apart is always a good day out.

it's fine to ride on that kind of hard ground with gentle riding for short amount of times. it's quite common in the uk to trot or walk down the road. this isnt smth you should do for long hours nor do galloping. it can benefit your horse and also help condition it to diff grounds. in the video is def not something to be doing on the daily

@@mitty8145 i am in the uk, i know my stuff

@@lolastrongsteel3784 i quite literally don’t care where you are, I also own horses and I wanted to give you more information

@@lolastrongsteel3784 It’s “shod”, not “ shoed”. 😉

@@Roheryn100 I meant to say shod, auto correct corrected it to shoed

Both fine luckily 🍀

its a special whip for hunting. Sometimes used to control the hounds

Also helps lay the trail 👍

@@msgpoloeventing did your horse spooked

Breanna Ciborowski ... If you notice, the "long whips" known as hunting whips, have a handle on the end, usually bone or ivory. This is to help to open and close gates. It is used as a hook and can be very helpfull in the field (if necessary)

If I'm not mistaken they aren't hunting real animals. However, I do think that the hounds follow fake trails they've laid in advance.

They are hunting foxes, although they will claim they're only trail hunting. The Ledbury hunt especially is quite notorious for getting caught red handed killing foxes. There are plenty of clues that show what they're really up to (although they're not really trying very hard to hide it, they know they can get away with it). Tons of foot followers waiting to witness a kill, terrier men following, the field following a "trail" that was for some reason laid across busy roadways and railroad tracks (why?), using fox hounds (there's no reason to use fox hounds over blood hounds when trail hunting, blood hounds have the superior noses, the only thing they lack compared to fox hounds is speed and agility which is needed to catch a fox). Don't let the title of the video fool you, this is an illegal fox hunt, and these are a bunch of sick psychos out hoping to see a terrified animal chased to exhaustion and then ripped apart alive.

@@pumpkinhead8593 they dont hunt, thats why most protestors look ridiculous as they have no clue that the hounds follow a scent trail made for them. if they were actually hunting you bet the press would be making news on his videos but they arent because they are not hunting. even if the were, hunting isn't ilegal. its illegal to let the dogs rip them apart but its legal to shoot the foxes.

I thought so too. Not fully developed joints yet and might have problems later in life 🤔

depends on breed. Lighter breeds such as arabs or Thoroughbreds would maybe be too young. However, for heavier breeds like most of them in this video (irish types) have thicker bone structure etc so are able to take this sort of work easier. I am not sure what breed his horses are, but he knows his horses better than any of us

@@---td5fg Of course it depends on bone size BUT JOINTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT here from a long term point of view ... from fetlocks to shoulders and fetlocks to hips.

At five? No not if you are sensible about it.

nowadays these "hunts" are more for training the dogs and exposing the horses, not many actually hunt as i believe its banned

It's illegal dummy. Brittany go back to your flat in town.

It was hounds tracking the scent left by man, who volunteers to do so. Hunting animals this way has been illegal for years. This was clearly stated in the first video, Brittany.

Oh please. This is an illegal fox hunt. We all know it. Stop with the trail hunt nonsense, you're just embarrassing yourselves.

Do u think horses in the wild when they fall down they stay there forever and not move? No they are gonna get up and try again until they complete it. And if ur playing football and u lose a game, are you going to not play again? No ur going to keep trying

@Macki-cg4pr what😂 srsly did u read my comment, its about a damn hedge which is terribly high which made horse fall and couldve caused broken bones or more, this rider decides to do it again and just doesn't give a fuck about his horses safety, this isn't about wild horses or football?? Like read little buddy

@@liannahq ohhh I did read it wrong sorry, I also hated how they were cantering in the concrete.
