Hunt school 09/13/2009
Be careful what you wish for....I got to lead the first flight today. Dewees is a good horse but she's used to having at least the huntsman or a whipper-in in front. But we had to go off and around the country and we got to a ditch with a pipe that until we got to it, had a big old turkey in it! Dewees spooked and I hung on but just barely. After that she fully expected another turkey to jump out somewhere but she was good and kept going. We took the first flight on a couple of gallops and jumped quite a bit. Then after the hounds had made their intro to the field, I was asked to take anyone who wanted to jump out to jump some more. Dewees was very good except one jump in a dark patch of woods. When she was satisfied there was no turkey, she jumped. CommentsLeave a Reply |
