28th February 2010
WDHC are holding a clinic on the above date this year to enable you to get to know what Mock Hunts are all about and to answer all the questions.
Whether you been on our mock hunts previously and felt a bit lost on what was expected – from dress code to manners on the days – or you have never been before and would appreciate a stepping stone in a controlled environment.
On the day there will be clinics starting from 11am through to 2pm.
Each clinic will have a maximum of 6 – 8 riders and will be lead by one of our Masters and accompanied by assistant acting as a hound for the clinic.
Each clinic will be approximately 1 ½ hours covering a defined line around Warren Barn Farm.
Initially your Master and assistant will be discussing and running through with your group the various facets of hunting including dress code. You will then set off a at a slow pace with various stops throughout to discuss each facet that you will come across i.e., staying behind Master, and what to do if you can’t, Jumping obstacles (all entirely optional) understanding the terminology etc.
Any and all questions will be answered by your Master on the day.
As advertised dress is casual, as you can see on the day the dress code modelled by your Master and Assistant (both horse and Rider).
This is a unique opportunity to learn to start hunting and should not be missed. The clinic will stand you in good stead for the up and coming beginners' mock hunt in March.
We look forward to seeing you at the clinic and advise that you book early as there are only a limited number of spaces.
The price of this clinic will be £5 for member and £15 for non-members.
