Autumn Cubbing with the Avon Vale Hunt

Today I took out Kington and Victoria Delville-Cutts brought out her 4yo mare Moomin. The meet was just at the bottom of my lane so we were able to hack there. After a shaky start the two youngsters were brilliant. Neither have hunted before and both will have benefitted and come on from what they experienced. I am a big believer in hunting the young ones to give them a "fifth leg" for those sticky situations out cross country when they really do have to think for themselves, and to teach them to gallop with a forward thinking brain. Both of us enjoyed our morning and we will be out a bit more over the winter months.
