Fox Hunt Club

Talking about fun! If you want to get involved in something really fun and out of the box, I highly recommend finding your local fox hunt club. 
You'll need to pack extra pairs of underwear because you'll for sure need it when you're out on the cross country course at a full gallop in a herd of 70+ horses-but its so worth it!
 If you're interested in joining me and the rest of the group, message me and I'll guide you to the club.

What To Expect Your First TimeStart Time
  • The hunt sets off at 1pm prompt. This means we actually start to ride out, so it is a good idea to arrive well before 1pm giving yourself time to tack up and get ready.
Duration
  • The hunt will last approximately two hours more or less. We stop for breaks, normally three, and have time to pass the flask, drink water, rest the horses and socialise. Sometimes at drink stops there is a vehicle with water or beer provided by the host. It is not a hell for leather mad dash across the fields for five hours ! However, we do frequently canter at a fair clip for quite some time across jumps, fields, through woods, and up and down hills, so unfit horses may need legging up, or may even want to skip one of the course ‘legs’.
Dress Code
  • We encourage smart hunt attire but you will not be turned away if you are wearing “the wrong” shirt! We also have a prize for the best turned out, so turn up and find out what its like.
Jump Refusals
  • No. You do not have time to turn back and school jumps, it gets very confusing for a moving pack of horses if we try to do that. Tuck in behind someone who jumps well or a red-coat. If your horse refuses many jumps, go around them instead – it’s much safer for those following behind you!
Food
  • The hunt is not long enough to require you to bring food. We do have many members carry a flask for ‘fortification’, and we have a pot-luck at the end of the hunt were we eat. We encourage members to contribute something to the pot-luck

  • BE PREPARED FOR THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE!

Makebe: Italian tack

2/8/2018

Now onto a really nice brand of tack. I have a few items of theirs which also include the spurs. Phenomenal quality and excellent for your position. These stirrups allowed for the first time in years, to be able to jump and ride for hours without any joint pain or discomfort. Phenomenal piece of equipment that I highly recommend.
The Wave jump stirrup made of aluminum with incline bench and innovative grip that, in addition to be very comfortable, it is also easy to clean allowing you to keep your stirrup always in perfect condition. In this Dressage version, we preferred to give a bit more weight to the bench, so as to facilitate the re-positioning of the same in case of loss. 

One of the features that make this a unique stirrup is also the weight, only 350gr but with the guarantee of excellent corrosion resistance and durability which is one of the main features that characterize the aluminum. 
Made in 7 colors obtained with the anodic oxidation process that guarantees the maintenance of gloss and color stability.

The Spurs
The “Wave” design of the spurs is a common-sense approach to avoid pressure on the ankles. The wave is an ergonomic feature to allow the spurs to rest securely under the ankle bone.
​
​The Makebe Interchangeable Wave Spurs feature an innovative spur system.  The same anodic oxidation process is used for manufacturing these spurs as the 
Makebe Jump Wave Stirrups.   The spurs have interchangeable heads (necks) that can be attached to provide 7 different spurs. Thanks to the anodic oxidation process, the spurs retain their glossy look and resist corrosion.
