A NOTE FROM YOUR FIELD MASTER

We have been blessed with fine weather and good going and this in turn has swelled our fields and whilst we are very pleased to see so many of you joining us there are just a few rules to be adhered to.  Please take the time to read through and come prepared. 

The first rule is to book in with Kerri – she will direct you to the best day suited to you and your horses ability to make sure you both have fun.  Please be prompt to arrive and introduce yourself, find out who you need to pay your cap to  - be helpful and offer.  If there are lots of people this can be a difficult task so make it easier.   You must print off and sign a Disclaimer and hand in with your cap.

Make sure both you and your horse are suitably turned out for the day , plaited for a lawn meet and black or blue hunt coat after Opening Meet although tweed is always acceptable.  If your horse is known to kick , please keep it to the back and make sure a red ribbon is displayed on its tail ( although this is not an excuse) and green ribbon usually indicates a young horse.  Always make sure that your horse faces hounds.

Be aware who your Field Master is for the day and make sure your horse is fitted with suitable brakes – hunting is not an excuse to be out of control – please have this issue sorted before the day! 

EVERYDAY that we hunt is by the very “kind permission of our Landowners and Farmers” .   It is essential that everyone is aware that one thoughtless act could jeopardise the future of our meet for everyone.   Your Field Master will call back various commands throughout the day – headland please (keep to the edge of the field – away from the crops), ware hole on the left/right ( hole  in the ground) , gate please (the gate must be shut). It is ESSENTIAL  that this information is passed back to the person behind you.  You must not ride over growing crops or mown grass and always proceed through stock slowly .  It is your responsibility to keep up with the field – if you find yourself detached from the front runners please be cautious – keep to the headland at all times if you are not sure, close all gates that you come through.  When crossing bridges or going through gates , make sure the person behind you is safely through before riding away.  If someone holds a gate open or stops the traffic , please be courteous to all concerned and thank them. 

Whilst we all love to jump, please be safe.  Fences should be taken one at a time with enough space for the person in front of you to be safely over and away .  If you are not jumping and prefer to take the gate option – please make sure you are positioned towards the rear of the field and have waited until everyone is safely over the fence before you go through the gate.   All breakages MUST be reported  - it is not a crime to break something but it IS not to report it.  Please let a Master know so that repairs can be carried out.

Give way to stray hounds and Whippers In – you need them in front of you!

If you are staying for “tea” –please contribute -  a plate of sandwiches, a quiche, or a cake is always very much appreciated. 

With all the above in mind, we look forward to seeing you for an enjoyable day hunting.
