Hmmm…pants under the chaps may be a stretch, but if that’s what I need to do to be a Snobbington Hunt member, that is what I shall do!
Right…off with the saddlebags, don’t want to leave my friends to walk home when We can happily ride a bucking horse home!

The way I figure it is like this, if I can fit a months worth of your UNDERWEAR into a Mason jar, your not wearing big enough underwear. 
:eek: Hiccup.
I am getting a visual of a Snobbington Hunt logo here…A Mason Jar in the middle of a pair of Grannie Panties…[/QUOTE]
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh, may I please, please quote these lines for my signature? This is just awesome…absolutely hilarious.
Grannie Panties would work fine under your chaps. Hiccup. Just something to cover the geography ya know. 
Maybe leopard print or blaze orange…rhinestones…the possibilities!!
Snobbington Hunt horses will ride double just fine, these ain’t imported high falutin Zgygerfasbsthienderstat type ponies. :lol: Hiccup. And if the horse should buck anyone off we won’t ponder what underwear your wearing, rules are rules. :o Hiccup.
Sidenote: During cubbing this year I dismounted to get a gate and a member held my horse. For whatever reason my horse got away from her and trotted up to the field…then spied something ahead and broke into a canter to catch up to the Huntsman and a whip…then galloped past them into the woods all alone “Hi Ho Silver, away!!!” :eek:
A dear member took pity on me, we were a mile from the kennels and who knew when or where my gelding might return, so I was hoisted up onto another members 20 hand high belguim gelding. 
I lied. Her gelding is 18 hands. With my fingers clinched into her throat and me, whispering in my Hannibal Lecter voice, in her ear "nothing faster than a w.a.l.k, do you UNDERSTAND???" we took off at a walk!! We had only walked 10 steps when my gallant gelding galloped up over a hill to our rear and rejoined the field!!
Yes, and since you have pleased a Joint Master of the Snobbington Hunt I am awarding you your colors tonight! 
Hiccup.
Oh my, is the Whoopee Wagon too late to the party? I apologize for not pulling up earlier…busy working overtime so I can afford those exorbitant Snobbington dues. Oh, and I second the nomination for Hunter’s Rest as huntsman cuz it’s her fault I’m hooked on this sport.
Anyhoo, for anyone here considering hunting but may be a wee bit turned off by some of the stereotypes, let me say that the vast majority of hunters are friendly folk. I’ve never been privileged enough to own a horse, truck or trailer, but I’ve been welcomed with open arms to cap with four different hunts in the East Coast and Midwest and provided with an experienced hunt horse for each outing. As long as you show a genuine interest in the sport and keep an open mind, most hunters would love the chance to educate you and bring you into the cult, um, fold :winkgrin:

now THAT would be one hell of a hunt button
Oh no - if I’m going to be Field Secretary I’ll have to tighten up my upper arms.
That way I can tackle members and guests, grab them by the lapels, and shake them while yelling, "Show Me Da Money!! Show Me Da Money!!!
For the record - I already have very large saddlebags, and am a founding member of the Disappearing Saddle Club.
Oh wait - are y’all referring to the ones you buckle onto your saddle or the ones that frighten small children?

gasp Oh, thank you!!! This is as good as getting that pony under the Christmas tree that I always wanted! :yes:
RAR respectfully applies to be fieldmaster of the Snobbington Hunt hilltoppers, with the understanding that all the hilltoppers will go no faster than the occasional trot.
She will instruct the other hilltoppers on the proper way to strap a camp chair to their saddles, so as to be uber comfy while stranded in the wilderness, wondering where the hunt is.
Since I have officially been hired (appointed?) as your hunt servant, may I begin the shouting now? Every huntsman I’ve ridden behind does a fair bit of shouting. I’ve always hoped to emulate that, in due course.

This whole scene reminded me of another scene where a horse decided it needed to be part of a ‘herd’:
JSwan, I gotcher back. Care for a co-sec’y?
I’ve got big upper arms from toting a 40lb preschooler everywhere. And about 8 years experience in the field of shaking down guests and members for fees and dues. And releases.
“Sign here…pardon me? Yes, you can die doing this.”
Are you going to attach a trailer to Mr Blondie & bring along the PETT? Or is everyone gonna have to keep on hiding behind the local flora?
Well, now, you’re gonna have to work at this skill. Cusswords must be clearly heard at 1.5 miles distance (3.0 miles if the wind is right). Real instructions to whippers-in must be absolutely unintelligible at any volume or distance.
Wait, I cant be co-master and manage the Hally-to wagon too, can I? Shouldnt a master be able to jump more than a smallish log without falling off, even while cold sober???
I was thinking maybe I could whip in, provided that my fishnet chaps and spiked collar are de rigeur for the Snobbington.
Also have several couple of hound-like beasts to add to the pack–two border collie mutts, two lab-springer (that would be Jerry Springer) mutts, a whippet/god knows what else mutt, and with her the neighbor’s foolish GA bulldog. All are accustomed to being kicked good and hard by horses.
And a half-couple jack russell, if that helps any. Gotta be able to dig out the fox.
Cusswords? I’ve got a stable-full of favorites.
Shouting to be heard at 3 miles? I’m less of a dog whisperer and more of a dog yeller. Does that count?
Can I be First Whipper-In? I got experience with whips and can wear black chaps with or without granny panties.
Well that brings up a whole 'nother subject.
VPL in the hunt field. Traditional or not?
HR- yes, huntsman has to be an appointed position, we don’t have funds to pay saleries. We have wiggle room on tradtion…maybe use a septer instead of a hunt whip??
JSwan- your going to be awesome as field secretary!!
Our volunteer mixed pack of dawgs and hounds is growing nicely! Can’t wait until opening meet!:winkgrin: We outta be able to run fox, coyote, the mailman and UPS!! :p:winkgrin:
We need to discuss colors. I like that tradition, and the drinking and bucking horses too. I was thinking like the colors of rainbow- blues, greens, pinks and yellow. That would look purty on fall & winter mornings on our black jackets and we would stand out in the country side.
Was at the vet this a.m. and one of my hunting horses is sidelined with a strained collateral ligament…so, I had to time to do a prelim on a logo. Please discuss changes, additions and removals. The name and mason jar have been set upon a rear view silhouette of a pair of grannie panties- with extra wide elastic. :yes: :yes:
I submit: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2962748860052639572qCnEDK
Now off to hydrotheraphy and wrap some legs…
