Foxhunting for the attire *rolls eyes*

Would Love to Hunt

My hubbie bought me all sorts of lovely jackets to go hunting. None an Irish Tweed because with my current thermostat, I would melt looking at them. Of course, the first day of cubbing two years ago, my wonderful and I do mean wonderful, boy dumped me galloping down a hill and broke my pelvis in 3 places and tore some ligaments down there. Haven’t been able to get back into shape to hunt since so I follow in my truck. I am the blue pickup with the coffee and hot chocolate at the ODH hunts.

However, I do wear the jackets to work and with my jeans. I think I look spiffy in them no matter what. The other upside is my husband rides my horse instead of his horse. I preferred this set up since his horse tended to get over excited or so we thought. It turns out he has issues with his rear end and the fussing and refusing was probably a result of pain not loss of mind.

I even wear my black jacket most weeks during the winter so it was a good purchase any which way you want to look at it.

I grew up back east, and once a year the local hunt would come through the farm where I rode during the Thanksgiving hunt. It would be the “break” spot (drag hunt), and all the kids would get to see the hunt close up from the top of the hay wagon.

Part of the amazing thing to me was always the attire, and the perfectly mannered horses. There were always 1-2 ladies who rode sidesaddle, turnout was impeccable for both horse and rider. One of the staff (I want to say the MFH, but I could be wrong) had a glossy black appy with a perfect blanket on it’s haunches.

There’s a hunt out here, but they don’t have the same standards or appeal to me. That’s great that they’re out there and having fun, but from what I’ve seen/heard it’s lacking the dignity and respect that I personally enjoy.

So maybe it is all about the clothes…

There’s always the Slobbington (no relation to Snobbington) Hunt in Slobvenia, WI.

At my age I’m not slackjawed at what someone is wearing during the hunt- new or old, borrowed or bought attire. What leaves me slackjawed are the ladies who have nearly PERFECT hair after wearing a helmet for hours and hours! I’ve seen them, just a little flicker with a few fingers and wha, lah, perfect hair as they walk in the clubhouse for breakfast! :mad: What is up with that, not fair!!

I have to put something over my flat, straight locks or I look like a dirty, wet mop with eyeglasses in riding attire. <<shudder>>

I definitely hunt to wear the clothes. That chick and I would love each other.[/QUOTE]
I’m still holding out hope for a nekkid hunt.

Nekkid Hunt

Not with this body, I am not showing it to the general public. I think some of the southern hunts cub in nice polo shirts, breeches and boots, but that is as much skin as I am willing to show. Maybe a sleeveless polo, but nothing else.

Every time I see this thread on the main COTH page, I think of the Seinfeld joke where Jerry gets mad at Tim Whatley for converting to Judaism “purely for the jokes.”

We used to finish our season on April 1st with an April Fool’s day hunt, which was fancy dress. We had a Lady Godiva.

Our Halloween Hunt is fun, costumes encouraged. Some outfits are tame- the devil horns and tail while others are funny as heck. “Lil Ho Peep” has yet to appear but some have promised to appear as her.

wateryglen, if you were in my hunt I would proudly sit beside you at breakfast and make quiet snarky comments about our co-hunters who across the room who look fabulous. I.hate.them. AND the sad reality is, in my hunt those woman CAN ride! Not fair. :mad:

Lil Ho Peep would give someone a reason to wear the “other” tall boots :lol:

Well, I didn’t say I would proudly bare my body. But, see, now that I’m a pathetic, desparate, middle-aged divorcee, I have to get my kicks where I can. Looking at the boys, I mean.

But, until there is a nekkid hunt, this is how I want to–what is it the kids say nowadays? roll?–yes, this is how I roll:

Puffy pants rule!!

[wateryglen]

Cute!

Painted! How long did it take to get that horse to “accept” his head dress?!!! :eek: God bless him, what a saint!!! Cutie for sure.
And if I only had a dollar for every time I’ve said…“Oh she’s such a cow!”!!! :winkgrin:

Those Halloween pictures were so much fun!
