I don’t get why sabs are convinced drag hunts are after foxes, it’s really uncomfortable and they are convinced they know better. She’s so sassy though 😂
This time you were following a foxhound pack, prior to the hunting act they would’ve hunted foxes. Post ban they follow an artificial scent whereas bloodhound packs literally hunt the scent of the human runners, this is why you’ll see the runners in with the hounds at the meet before they set off. Foxhound packs follow a prelaid trail and it’s done to be more authentic and have the hounds follow as naturally as possible. The sabs are FOREVER filming and protesting because there is a constant campaign to have the ban overturned, effectively by following foxhounds you’re supporting this cause in a way or that’s how the sabs see it. They are also continually trying to catch hunts breaking the law by following actual foxes. They collect video evidence of everyone in order to try and gain a prosecution. The hunt I follow (usually on foot at the moment) is forever dealing with protesters, on a Saturday meet there are often multiple police vehicles in attendance as we’re lucky enough to get the less peaceful ones.
Ahhh this was so lovely to see! Seren seemed much calmer! You wouldn’t believe that was the same pony that extended your arms by a couple of feet the last time! 😂 Also, I think I would have more time for sabs if they actually went on the hunts and saw what was happening. I get that they want to protect foxes and the other animals, and I agree they shouldn’t be hunted like this (although I love watching blood hounds and trail hunts! And I know this was a trail hunt), but scaring the horses like that is not a sign of an animal lover. Especially when you are trying to make sure Seren was calm and chilled. If they stuck a couple of people into hunts with cameras, it would become very obvious who was illegally hunting and they would have the proof. Seems like a no brainer to me?!
Thank you, she was a very good girl on this ride . Although still managed to give me blisters through my gloves 🤦🏼♀️🤣!! There are some I believe do care for the animals. But for some it’s an excuse to be hooligans & just cause problems. I genuinely would not hunt if it involved other animals xx
Perhaps if blood hounds were used instead ie chasing a scent instead of fox hounds , then they might believe foxes wouldn’t be chased. Sabs don’t consider the effect of shouting at the horses.
I genuinely would not hunt if it involved foxes as would other people on that very hunt. They definitely don’t or the fact they have dog food to entice the dogs over into the road.
Probably more roadwork than usual to protect the farmers fields, it looked pretty wet, she seemed to go well for you with the gag, I used to find scratching the neck also helps on keen horses x
Potentially ! Yeah we’d had a lot of rain the week before. Thank you, I did try but she constantly pulls so I barely have chance to take my hands of the reins 😰🤣haha xx
You need to put a market harborough on her. I think that's the name. It fixes on the saddle or girth ( can't remember which, then through the bit and to your hands. You will have control because the horse pulls against itself.
I dunno about you, but my heart was in my mouth the whole time!!! Glad she was a bit better behaved this time! Archie should be in the Spanish Riding School 🤣
Mine deffo was towards the start cause I was very apprehensive after last times lack of brakes 🤣! But once I knew I could actually stop I was fine. Hahah I know he’s got some great moves on him 🤣 xxx
Absolutely disgusting from the protesters, they are all about saving the animals yet will happily stand there shouting and upsetting the horses!! There should be police present next time.
I think I had a lot more control cause I could actually keep hold of my reins this time 🤣. I think she could deffo deffo still get away from me if I’d of had the same bit as last time in. LOVE my new bridging reins! Haha. It’s deffo one of my faves I’ve edited/ made. Thank you 💜 xx
i took mine out hunting for the first time a couple of weeks ago. he loved it. no breaks but it was very fun. he didnt understand the concept of why we where jumping rails so i tried two but didnt bother anymore as he refused both. as well sabs look ridiculous in balacalavas and shouting at the horses.
The woah’s are useless 🤣, she knows how she likes things done and that’s at 100mph at all times. She’s a sassy little pig 🐷! That’s such a shame, but I bet you have some incredible country to ride over 🤩🤩! Xxx
Just a general question: Why do some rider seem to be sitting back over the fences with their legs kind of slipping forward? It's not the correct jumping position the way you learn in show jumping, and you see it on a lot of traditional prints and paintings as well, so I wondered if it was a special hunting jumping style? Or because the horses tend to jump wider and flatter?
Its called strap hanging or 'defensive seat' and is because the horse has basically jumped bigger than you expected... Slip the reins to the buckle end and sit back!
Have you thought about a martingale with stoppers on, so he cant put his head down... Theres no way to get it up when its between his front legs and bolting.
I have tried it on her before but she actually tends to rear 🤦🏼♀️. The martingale doesn’t stop her pulling her head down more up in the air. I used the Cheltenham gag with cheek piece as it lifts the head up xx
I used to hunt a very enthusiastic Sec D who would throw his big neck and shoulders against me and we had braking issues. I ended up with a 3 ring Dutch Gag with double reins. I could ride him up to his bridle on the top rein with steady contact and only needed a very occasional ‘check’ with the bottom rein that was on only the second ring. I had leather palmed gloves with the extra leather between little and ring finger which helped with the laced rein which helped with gripping. He settled with this arrangement very quickly and wasn’t so strong (most of the time) . It’s finding the ‘key’ to your own horse in certain situations. We had a French link snaffle for summer, Pelham with double reins for winter and the ‘disc brakes’ for hunting. Have fun😁🐎😁
The hunt sabs are so focused on the foxes (that don't even exist in most modern hunts) they don't even realize the harm they cause horse, rider, and hounds by screaming, yelling, blocking roads, and spooking the animals.
I'll be honest if you were hunting foxes I would have been with those 'Sabs' but I totally don't understand why they are there at all for this. They need to get educated or are they just against you riding at all? Also why are all those people standing where you meet, lined up against the shed, looks like an accident waiting to happen. I'll also say I admire your grit, for me I wouldn't have enjoyed all that boggy wet grass/mud etc. You did amazingly well on a rather fresh horse. I would have been stressed to the max. In my defence I live in Australia where we don't get wet weather very often 😂 so I suppose you get used to it and non of my horses are shod.
Totally totally agree, I am against fox hunting I would never ever do it if it involved any other animals than the dogs & horses. They do need educated they are terrible, the thing that is the worst part is. They aren’t actually doing it for the animals. They are simply doing it to be hooligans, how do those men dressed in balaclavas care for any animal at all 🤷🏼♀️. All they were doing was provoking the horses & riders, the hunt supporters & the dogs. They entice the dogs over with dog food & then wonder why the dogs run onto the road to see them. Idiots. It was a rather large meet for new years, it was just supporters enjoying the atmosphere. I have found a new love for this hunting malarky, it’s done wonders for both mine & seren’s confidence 💜 xxx
I cant beleive you get Tabs on a drag met - they do know its the hunt staff piss on a cloth right hahahah. Im gonna shows you how to plate a Ian like hers. But she was much better behaved wasn't she !!!!
I enjoy watching your videos! I laughed my ass off on the first one! Couldn’t quite understand why you would cluck at her before every jump when you were having such trouble slowing her! Also the “steady” “steady” “steady” the entire ride has to go! 🤨
She was so much more controllable. However, the field were more sensible - and hunt staff spread out to control everything. Very wet ground. Sad to see people riding on crops
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventingoo I dunno either! Could of been a bite from another horse. A few up at my stables have had things like that from being hooligans in the field 😂
The last ride was unbelievably fast my adrenaline was goin for you im so glad you did it again your very brave but worth findin out how she would behave a second time
Do i think hunting live foxes is bad ... yes. do i love fox hunting riding ... yes. would ever go out of my way to scare horses so people get hurt over my own opinion... never
Im say this not hating on video but mentioning other types of hunts. Some hunts cant be absolute fun and be great but I do know some hunts actually cause harm to people and other things which shouldn’t be allowed, the sabs need be yelling at the right hunters not the wrong ones! ❤
Most of The Sabs are not doing it for the love of the animals like they say. It is there excuse to cause arguments/ conflict & in essence hooliganism. I watched one of the sabs entice one of the hounds into the road with biscuits !
You can call yourself blessed to be living in the UK with that great tradition. The countryside looks fab and that morning is an absolute dream!
I don’t get why sabs are convinced drag hunts are after foxes, it’s really uncomfortable and they are convinced they know better. She’s so sassy though 😂
It’s so cringey because they just try & provoke the staff. They’re just football hooligans in the countryside dresses in balaclavas 🤦🏼♀️ xx

Some hunt groups who do this "drag hunt" actually kill foxes
I would never be involved with that.
@Whizzywelsh_Eventing I know but I was just replying back to the person who mentioned sabs them ones who have hunted foxes I believe have shut down
Horse at 9:22-9:30 has a huge open injury on its bum, surprised no one in the crowd told the rider 😬
She thinks her name is Steady 😂 But loving this for you two.
Looks like you had a much better ride with control! Enjoying without being scared to die 😅 she is a great jumper!❤
HAHAH yes! A lot more control big guns bit but had a much more pleasant ride haha xx
So much better with control this time 🤣 she is looking really good at the minute too 😍
Much better! She’s looks fab isn’t she really pleased herxx
i saw your post on facebook and came straight here😂 i can already tell this is gonna be a good video!
Ahhh this was so lovely to see! Seren seemed much calmer! You wouldn’t believe that was the same pony that extended your arms by a couple of feet the last time! 😂

God just watching those SABS made me feel so anxious!! She was so much better behaved! Although I low key miss the crazy antics 🤣 xx
Absolutely disgusting from the protesters, they are all about saving the animals yet will happily stand there shouting and upsetting the horses!! There should be police present next time.
It was shocking how much abuse they were shouting! Shouting at horses, encouraging dogs into the road! Xxx
Love the video, she is so keen! I was watching thinking blimey you must be pretty fit holding her back 🤣
so much calmer this tiime. Have to say your first hunting video is soooo funny. Well done team x
I think I had a lot more control cause I could actually keep hold of my reins this time 🤣. I think she could deffo deffo still get away from me if I’d of had the same bit as last time in. LOVE my new bridging reins! Haha.
It’s deffo one of my faves I’ve edited/ made. Thank you 💜 xx
You need to come hunting in Norfolk !! Loads of jumps and good going ❤
Would love too!!!! Maybe soon 🤭 xx

You're either very brave or mad, can't quite decide! 😂
Or Maybe just stupid 🤣🤣! I love it, the rush you get is like no other & it’s benefitted Seren in every way I hoped it would xx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing if I was 40 years younger I'd be right beside you 😄 keep doing what you love! 🥰
The breaks are so much better , well done 😊
Aren’t they! Haha needed something to keep her under control xx
What are you WOAHING about mom? I'm doing this thang MY way... just roll with it. Hahaha
The woah’s are useless 🤣, she knows how she likes things done and that’s at 100mph at all times. She’s a sassy little pig 🐷! That’s such a shame, but I bet you have some incredible country to ride over 🤩🤩! Xxx

She looks so good doing the extended trot in the arena.. love the snorting.. lol. Just a question does she know voice commands walk, trot , canter.
She’s so sassy isn’t she 🤣🤣🤣!!
She does indeed, I never lunge her because she’s so good loose schooling xxx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing She is gorgeous, I also follow an Arabian horse called Afire. He calls his owner Monkey boy . Lol.

She is absolutely loving it 🙈❤️
Isn’t she 🤣🤣! Her ears are never not forward on a ride she loves it xx
Omg I was very much waiting for this and can’t wait to watch x ❤
Aww thank you 🤭🤭!! Hope you enjoyed. No where near as entertaining as the last one but better behaved for me 🤣🤣! Xx

I love that your watching my channel all the way from Australia 🤩🤩!! Xxx
The hunt sabs don’t seem to be the brightest tools in the box do they….
Deffo not 🤣… made themselves looked fools with hooligan balaclavas on! Xx
I cant beleive you get Tabs on a drag met - they do know its the hunt staff piss on a cloth right hahahah. Im gonna shows you how to plate a Ian like hers. But she was much better behaved wasn't she !!!!
Hahaha they need better educating about what a drag hunt it. Yes! Xx
I enjoy watching your videos! I laughed my ass off on the first one! Couldn’t quite understand why you would cluck at her before every jump when you were having such trouble slowing her! Also the “steady” “steady” “steady” the entire ride has to go! 🤨
it's to steady your nerves, I guess. I'd go steady all the way...
Looking much better! She loves it!
Was it just me that saw when they were starting there was a chunk ripped of a horse ? Looked painful
Oh she knew why she was there!!!!
Absolutely 🤣🤣! She LOVES it xx
She was so much more controllable. However, the field were more sensible - and hunt staff spread out to control everything. Very wet ground. Sad to see people riding on crops
9:28 Was that horse in Front of you not Bad injured or what was this?
Hey 👋🏻 I’m genuinely not sure but looked like a rub to me from what I saw don’t know the person though xxx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventingoo I dunno either! Could of been a bite from another horse. A few up at my stables have had things like that from being hooligans in the field 😂
Did you have a green ribbon in her tail?
So much better behaved than the last video
Much, much better wasn’t she. Though it wasn’t anywhere near as quick a ride as the last one haha! Xx
