Where are the Peebles? There are only about 5 hunts in Scotland so you may struggle to find one near you.

This article will give you most of the information you need to know. I have been hunting for aboout 5 years and came from a completely unhorsey background; and I learnt from this article! I also wish someone had told me about all this several years ago!
If theres anything else you need to know I can try to help?

Hunting wll have finished for this season. But a good way to get started and involved is to join a hunt supporters club. Subs are very low, people very friendly (when they get to know you). www.mfha.co.uk.

Thanks I was thinking about doing that but wasn't sure if people thought it was worth it. Will wait till I move up to Leeming but will definitely do it.
Thanks

ALWAYS ring the seceratary first. They may have taken a few visitors that day & not be able to accomodate you plus it is curtesey!!

It can be nerve wracking to start with as your horse may get silly, I found putting a red for kicker or green for novice ,ribbon in his tail helps to ward off bargers and gives you space to think, also .be firm and ride at the back with all the old ladies like me! your horse will defuse if he's not given liberties , time enough to get with the thrusters when he's learnt his manners.
