I love horses,ponies and mini horses and I wish that I could have daily equine therapy but I can not afford to pay for counciling and equine therapy together in my country and city due to my ongoing health issues so I watch horse videos to get equine therapy
Great ride! If you are able to ask the woman on the paint, can you tell me where she purchased that little saddle bag? I'd love something like that for trail rides.
To see riders maneuvering through trees and negotiating obstacles is already impressive but this immersive "first person" view makes one respect this tradition and those involved in it.
A long time since this video was posted but I’m still gonna ask… is it better for the horse to drink or not to drink during a ride like this? Is it more likely that they colic if they drink during a ‘hard’ ride?
What do u feed them before a long hunt or hard show, and how long do u wait before riding Cuz for hacking and moderate work i just feed chaff, but ive never been on a hunt so idk what to feed and how long to feed before hard exercise
Hunts actually help foxes ironically, often the Foxes would escape from the hunts. They will always have a chance to survive. It was a good way of simulating natural selection. foxes were never meant to be the main predator in Britain, but unfortunately we hunted the other predators to extinction meaning, bears, wolves and even boars would go for them. But since they were hunted to extinction, the fox numbers have grown exponentially, and even started overlapping into urban areas and by extension have done horrific damage to the ecosystem. And I’m not meaning pheasants, I’m meaning about actual endangered species of birds and even causing danger to the reintroduced beaver, and even household pets like small dogs, cats and that’s not including the hundreds of lambs they kill every year and thousands of chickens needlessly. When they go into a chicken coop, they do not simply kill one and go away. They kill every single one in there and only take one away to eat it. The fox hunt was a perfect simulation of a wolf chase where wolves would hunt the fox off to kill it. 19 times out of 20. The Fox would always get away. Only the old and the sick would actually get caught. It also served as a deterrent for a fox going into a certain area as the hunt would often frighten them out. And caused them to be far more cautious around human areas, again causing them to be far more selective of their territory. All this needless death of foxes only happened when the fox hunt was actually removed. The Foxhunt would only kill about 250 foxes throughout Britain a year, but now without it, the fox numbers are blowing exponentially, we are now forced to kill thousands a year unnaturally instead by guns, poison and snares. (people actually called the hunt Cruel?) I don’t like the idea of killing animals, needlessly, or for pleasure. I was never a fan of gentlemen hunting foxes purely because they liked the idea of killing something, but from a naturalist viewpoint I can actually see the benefits it caused in keeping numbers down in a far more natural way. People will say I’m cruel for saying this? When you live in the country and your animals are being killed by foxes needlessly, when your cats and dogs don’t come back at night, when you find that your 20 chickens have been killed by a single fox, or you walk along a field lane and see a lamb with its throat ripped out. you generally don’t have much sympathy for foxes. My grandfather used to hunt with the hounds. And I remember in my childhood, although there were foxes around, they generally were terrified of coming anywhere near human dwellings. It would be rare if a fox actually came near our livestock. But since the Fox hunt has been stopped, we have had no end of needless killing by the foxes. They are not a sweet little creature that runs around like humans. They can be heartless killers. the foxhunt for the most part only frightens them out. It was rare if they ever actually would catch a fox.
Firstly, your spelling is horrendous. Secondly this is Ireland and it's not illegal. Entirely different Government to the one where they passed a bill to make it illegal.
Didn't he just, and got not one pat or word of gratitude for the trouble! It's always the least deserving riders get the most well mannered absolute gems! 💯
@@redrumtruecrimeBut a lot of dramatic grunting and swearing ...lol. Love the way he sees a little girl fall in front of him and just leaves her there.
@@Lagolop Yep, a thoughtless clueless "Hooray Henry" riders like him (well sit on and point passenger, more than a rider! ) In my experience of those types out in the field, always create chaos in their wake, never looking back once! They'll go through swinging gates, being sure it doesn't hit them in the leg but to hell with it whacking the horse right on the hip (at least that move stops those riders behind from pushing in, getting ahead of them and to the front of the field!!) After all they've only hired it for the day "ridden hard, put away wet!" That phrase was meant for those arrogant, ignorant, assholes who see hunting as another way to social climb! I always wished they stuck to the bloody golf course tbh!! 😒 🤷🏼♀️ "Tally Ho! - Cheerio!" 🦊 🐕🐾🐕🐾🐾🐶🐕🐕 🐎🐎🐴🐴 ❤😁🇬🇧
Like that every time you jumped you made sounds like me trying to put my shoes on😂 I need to diet so I can get back on a horse 😮😂 loved the video. Some great horses and lovely place to ride by the looks😄
The poor old wildlife & possibly any pets who get caught up in this would definitely have a different view on this. Hunted to exhaustion & ripped apart.
Loved your sweetheart of a horse, just point and pop, great willing ears despite the lack of the breathers you should have had? The horse even fought for his head when you used the brakes a little often, what a treasure. Don't approve of cantering on roads or lanes or jumping onto tarmac carparks - gives a great horse shin splints which is why most hunts insist on trotting those bits and letting the horses refill their lungs.
Well I guess the horses were rested in between gallops but the video doesn't show that. It just looks like the horses were run ragged. I don't know how they do it without breaking down. especially over rock walls.
It's a drag hunt - because it really is all about getting out and riding across the country, going over jumps. IE fun. They follow a scent trail, not a fox.
That's the whole point with hunting, the fox (which often isn't there, just his scent) is a minor character. It's all about galloping cross country like a mad fool and going over jumps. The only thing I can think of that is more fun is downhill skiing, maybe helicopter skiing. "Riding horses around" is fun.
