Bagged that one! :lol: I was stand-in for Sean Connery…[/QUOTE]
Interesting! The Great Train Robbery was fom 1979 although he did ride on screen briefly a horse in Marnie from 1964 so he wasn’t lying about riding 
Sean and Tippi from the Hitchcock film - although maybe that is really the OP “Tallboots”.
Ah, Marnie riding sans saddle, shoes, helmet …and jumping a 4’ fence

How do I afix my tiarra to my hard hat?[/QUOTE]
Your groom holds it over your head and whispers in your ear, “Remember, Thou art mortal.” :lol::lol::lol:
It makes taking a fence a real PITA but creek crossings are easy because the water parts for you.
I refuse to hunt in the US after my terrible ordeal…
I had my trainer pick up a lovely mount… a good deal at only $259,437.68. Imported warmblood from Monaco. My trainer told me they have a fabulous Olympic Equestrian team.
Anyhow I sent my personal shopper out to pick up all the proper attire suitable for the hunt.
Alas it would be lovely dress for the weekend in the Hamptons but so not for a hunt. I fired the personal shopper. Because I was in a pinch, I contacted my Neiman Marcus customer associate who was so fabulous in the transaction where I purchased the Thoroughbred Racing Package. Of course she put me through to the fashion executive who kindly put together a fabulous hunt outfit which I had my butler run to fetch. Yes I know he had to fly out to Dallas but he was a good sport about it.
I arrived in my G55 AMG, I call her “Riesling”, which I had my assistant drive for me since you just never know if those country roads where the little people like to live are paved.
In complete and utter embarrassment my stable manager was not there prior to my arrival as he was explicitly instructed to be so I fired him and the groom. This left me to scramble and ask the other riders in the hunt if they would kindly stand in as groom while I finished my latte.
This is when I noticed that the hunt was clearly not as I imagined. I was surrounded by ‘common’ people. There were used jackets, domestically crossbred horses, old tack, and trailers obviously manufactured in previous years.
And they wouldn’t even take my American Express card for the capping fees. I mean honestly! Plus there was some tall blue box actually in the parking lot to which they actually suggested I use as a “restroom”? I’m still baffled as to why they called it John. Who IS John and why does he have blue boxes named after him? I politely declined among the snickering crowd of such… ack… middle class.
Clearly OP should have attended this hunt. Based on what I witnessed they accept anyone. Please let me know where OP’s hunt club is. They obviously have set proper standards to eliminate such riffraff.
Well, my dear, not if you hunt with PMD’s. They are butterfly-proof, doncha know?
And since you are going to have a tiara on your helmet, then you may replace your hunt whip with a sceptor. Just please be sure it is a staghorn, and not a knobend. One must still observe propriety even at your level, yes?
I suggest we stop replying to this thread so the subject line goes to the bottom of the list where it belongs.
Ah! Just in time! TOTD has Toasty Tops in both a sports bra AND camisole style! Perfect under your shirt and stock tie. And if you are still swingin’ low, well, there’s yet ANOTHER use for a stock tie! Strap those girls up, grab mane and kick on! :lol:
You are hereby banished. No curmudgeons allowed.
However, I can be bribed. Deed over 500 acres of prime NOVA hunt territory to me and all will be forgiven.
Who brought the Lindburger and sardine sandwhich to this hunt!

Are you sure just 500-acres and not 499 or 501? This thread is about being precise - note the OP drove 357 miles and left at 2:45 am, not 2:40.
For the curmudgeons watch this for a distraction and feel assured we can stay on forum if we want to.
500 precisely.
I’d accept 497, but then I still have the option of holding a grudge.
Another Idea
How about a glue gun to attach the tiara to your hard hat or we can have a custom HH made with the crown permanently attached.
As far as the swinging low problem, don’t forget the Title Nine and UnderArmor breast plates. I was assured that wearing an UnderArmor version, one size smaller that you would normally wear, really packs the girls down.
HAHAHHA, and here I was hoping to read a Bernie Wooster type account of the first time hunting. 
Just for Jessica !
Do your t-ts hang low,
Can you tie them round your middle,
In a big floppy bow,
Can you swing them to the ceiling,
With a free and easy feeling,
If you can do all this,
Then your t-ts hang low.
To the “Hornblower” tune.
I hunt with Bertie Wooster. Bernie is the half-brother that the Wooster family doesn’t discuss.
I’m having fun reading this thread but that video was awesome!! Thanks for posting:yes:
Well whatya expect when you show up to the hunt intending to ride this…

You’re welcome - I enjoyed watching it too and no one looked or acted pretentious or haughty. Just a good time had by all across the countryside on an average looking day.
Aha. Now go check off ‘Holsteiner’ for somebody in the ‘what breed do you hunt’ poll.
