Okay she had her moments... But what an incredible save she made when that other pony stopped, and well done you for sitting it so well! You had so much more control than the first time!!!
She was amazing wasnt she , so honestly she just popped to the side and was like I GOT THIS MOMMA!🤣. Thank you I can deffo feel her getting better everytime she just loves it so much xx
Loved and was scared silly watching this! I was mostly a classical dressage rider but did hunt on borrowed horses that I had never ridden before. That was an exciting adventure. I have some suggestions for you to keep you and your horse safer. I used to retrain off the track Thoroughbreds. The first thing you need to do is learn how to keep the horse in the “corridor of aids.” Your horse is always crooked which means it is in control, not you. The reins are there to shift the forehand or the haunches, not control the forward motion. When the horse is straight, your seat can be used to control the forward motion by using a “rising canter.” (That means that you sit on alternate strides in a regular rhythm that YOU choose. Believe me this works wonders. I have used it to regulate some very fit strong Thoroughbreds. Now, the reins: From watching you ride, I saw you use only direct rein so the horse ducked out the left shoulder and took off. You need to learn how to use the indirect reins preferably in a dressage ring where you can practice at slow speed starting with walk, then trot, then canter. School your horse well on this and it will be much easier. In an open field I would have turned your horse hard left AT THE BEGINNING WHEN FIRST ENTERING THE FIELD BEFORE THE FIELD TOOK OFF. That would have gotten her left shoulder back in the corridor of aids. She is predictable so get ahead of her tricks. If you have never heard of indirect rein in front of the withers and indirect rein behind the withers, find yourself an instructor who does know how to use them. Your legs support the reins by helping to maintain control of the hind quarters, keeping the corridor strong. I got my first horse in 1962, my Horsemaster certification in 1975, and 2 weeks ago I rode 2 horses. I’d like to see you achieve that kind of longevity. Wishing you many more SAFER hunts. ❤️☮️🖖
That was quite a wild ride! To be fair, she was pretty fractious from the start. I recall the tedious ritual of trying to catch my horse as he hid behind and circled around the protective bulk of the increasingly irritated shire horse he shared a field with. He had the art of snatching a bait-mint and pulling away quick down to a fine art. I was put off jumping large hedges after my horse plunged into one, dumping me on the floor, and getting both his forefeet stuck in a piece of rusty iron fence that was hidden inside it, which he clobbered me with while trying to free himself. He eventually did so, pulling both shoes clean off in the process. He was miraculously unscathed apart from being stiff as a board next day and needing a week off. Interesting about this being a beagle pack… I love those little fellas with their incredible noses, but aren’t they usually followed on foot?
Just found your hunt videos and they are very entertaining watching on a screen but doing it for real is a completely different matter so thankyou for sharing and good on you for having the nerve to do this more than once!
I think hunts need to have oxygen and defibrillators available!! That looked terrifying!!! 😱😱 And you got a star jump in!!! 🌟 Yes, I was laughing like a drain the whole time!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least she went over the hedges rather needing ran into them. Seems to have a bit of a smarter brain between the ears this time :D No "Tw*t" this time :D
The head diving, is she trying to buck, or grab the bit? Maybe a stronger bit would help? You could also look at a calming additive to her feed before setting off - that helps mine stay focused, less stress, and 'white noise' brain 😊
No she roots the reins out of my hands she always has done. Hahah I have a Cheltenham gag in 🫣!! You can’t get much stronger. She’s genuinely just a buzzy pony it’s her nature bless her baba xx
i wish my hunt was as calm as this, when i was younger and i would hunt with the childrens meet when it was on i would love it but the hunt i go on they are all snooty and the hunt is known for killing foxes. it was a great save when that pony refused. mine would have been like 'wtf are you asking of me mum'

Oh my life when that horse low key crumbled in front of her 😱. She did so well! She's a hoot 😂😂
Just found your hunt videos and they are very entertaining watching on a screen but doing it for real is a completely different matter so thankyou for sharing and good on you for having the nerve to do this more than once!
"fruity language and heavy breathing" ♥ 😂
That looked like a lot of fun with a few hairy moments. She was very good and brave too. Well done.
That jump!!! you did so well to stay on!! xx

Hahaha don’t they!! It was so much fun! Pahahah course I did 🤣 it’s a signature move now
Xxx
Glad it gave you a giggle 🤣 nothing will beat my first hunt video pahaha xx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing that video will go down in history!! 🏆😂
The commentary always cracks me up 😂🙈
There’s an art to hailing a cab but holding onto the buckle ! I love hunting it’s just sheer adrenaline.
Ever thought of a standing martingale to stop her head going on the floor 😂 looks terrifying
Many a time 🤣. But it won’t stop her from rooting unfortunately plus she rears with a martingale 🤦🏼♀️🤣.
I’ve got a curb strap to go on next time 🤭 x
Jesus Christ when she jumps to the side and jumps the hedge 😳 what a girl!!
loved it your pony is a star and you are very brave
So funny, Your so brave love it.
My horse is really sick irl :( this made me happy ^^
At least she went over the hedges rather needing ran into them. Seems to have a bit of a smarter brain between the ears this time :D No "Tw*t" this time :D
No you don't....Oh Yes I DOOO!!!
Love these hunting videos!!
The head diving, is she trying to buck, or grab the bit?

Why is she being like that? Is she just young or?
Hunts are extremely exciting for horses. Unless the horse is used to it, they can get very excited!
They want to go and can’t so they act this way.
Letting them just go could be dangerous for you and the horse.
You are very brave..........or totally mad 😂
The latter I think 😵💫🤣🥴🥴 xx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing 😂 I won't tell anyone! 🤣xx
