5 hours of PURE adrenaline foxhunting in Ireland this week! 

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.

You haven't lived until you've foxhunted. It is 5hrs of challenges, fun , & extreme physical exercise. I love it.

So awesome!! Thank you! That horse is a steady Eddie. God Bless him!!

This looks so fun omg

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😄

That horse gave you a lot of help. What a good hireling..

EPIC!

That little cob in front was MEGA 😮

Sorry, this is crazy, on top of each other jumping. Horse & rider could seriously get hurt. Surprised no one has gotten kicked.

Omg where in Ireland is this, would love to give it a go

Thanks for posting this. Fabulous video. Love those grays.

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.

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

Cracking run.Wouldve luv to hear hounds for music

They need to make his legal again

Stunning 😍

Intense 🎉🎉🎉 your grey is game !!!!

That was hectic! Good job keeping yourself and your horse safe… did you ever see the rider that went down at 2.20 again?! I also have a bit of a crush on the chestnut that appeared at 16.16 😂

Omg this is my dream 😍😍

OMG … at 53yrs old, watching this was the biggest thrill I’ve had in 30 odd yrs … when I die I want to go to Fox Hunting Heaven !!!

Wait did anyone ever cach the loose horse ?

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.

Where is this hunt and how did you get signed up for it?

😳 I was holding my breath after each jump. I'm exhausted. This was intense.

Brings back memories. Did you write a book ‘don’t frighten the dogs’?

are you actually hunting foxes or..?

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.

Fox hunting is alligle

It’s 5 hours u sy? Well on my screen I have 19 min :/

If this is what you do for an adrenaline rush... i feel bad for you.

wasn't this banned like beautiful horses but poor foxes

Pure adrenaline? You sound like you're in pain over every wall/fence....ERUGH! ARGHHH! OH SHIIIII!! Think youve got your receptors confused!😅😅

Should not gallop on tracks

Wheres the dogs? Wheres the freakin fox? This is basically just riding horses around!😂😂😂😂

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.

So foxhunting is basically very irresponsible trail riding, got it

Get another passion, killing animals for fun is horrible
