Sooo, couldnt resist it and just bought myself a little gift while out shopping. A pretty little flask wrapped in the softest pink leather ever. I’m thinking non slip on those rainy days, Lord knows I wouldnt ever want that slipping from my hands!
My question is, is it proper? I dont believe I’ve ever seen anyone with a “colored” flask before.
Really?
I wouldn’t be caught dead with it, but then I’m not a “pink” kind of girl. It really depends on your hunt how it will be received.
Okay, another question…would you carry a glass flask? I guess I’m attracted to things other than the norm, LOL.
Yes I would.
I got one last season that is really nice. It’s called The Paris Flask. google it, you’ll love it. I had a plain monogram put on it but you can even get pictures and all sorts of things on it.
I have 3oz flask wrapped in pink leather and no one has refused a sip from it in three years…it’s the extender to my regular 5oz flask. Might add, my hunt is fun, safe and follows tradition but has room for something like a silly lil pink flask.
Guest (Masters from another hunt) were with us one day and they thought it would be perfect for their 12 year old grand daughter to carry her water in on hunting days. 
I’d carry a glass flask in my sandwich case but not in my pocket.
But always be aware of where Wateryglen is because she’ll empty your flask. 
SLW gets right to the heart of the matter in pointing out that no one has refused a drink from hers. While it may not be “correct,” it will be accepted - if not embraced - by most hunts, except, perhaps, Snobbington.
Proper!!!
PROPER!!! SHROPER!!!
WHO CARES!!! :p:p:p:p:p
We at the Snobbington Hunt do hereby grant you hunting priveleges
with us for life…Just ride with me(hic!) …:dead: I’ll keep you safe from the etiquette police. I have EP repellant.
My horse kicks and I don’t care!!!
He’s trained to only kick those who care!
And whatever you do…DON’T HUNT with any hunt or people that would care.
Go forth and have fun.
Bless you. Pink rocks!
Thanks all… did I mention it’s hot pink? :winkgrin: And wateryglen, I would LOVE to come out with you! I’ll bring the Godiva…my for now personal favorite on a chilly morn!
I have a flask wrapped in red leather, the leather is woven over the flask in a basketweave pattern. And like SLW’s flask, no one has ever refused a drink from it 
Dang - if it’s got single malt Scotch in it I don’t care if it’s puce colored.
And I am a strict traditionalist - but will always bend the rules for a good single malt.
For medicinal purposes only, you understand.
If it makes you feel good, it’s for medicinal purposes.
Butterscotch snaps would taste even better in a pink flask, I think. Does the Snobbington Hunt have a 2nd flight? I would love to cap w/ you all. Given that my troublesome horse has not been out hunting since his opening debacle, I don’t think I should over face him.
Oh yes, second flight is where it’s at!! We score First flight like Olympic judges- crest release on a straight up jump- 1. Crest release on a coop landing into a ditch where a farmers goat is grazing- 9. :lol: Crest release on a coop landing into a ditch then bouncing over the farmers goat- 10!!! :lol:
Oh I would totally take a sip from it never pass up free booze LOL
I just wouldn’t carry it myself
Ah ha! I have a little red and black flowery flask, AND…found a nice little flask with a sort of tweed cover. Very inexpensive…look for them at Claire’s Boutique’s in the malls, the accessories, jewelry, etc. places…they have them! And … mine were both under $5 … if of course the Etiquette Police are not stalking your particular hunt…I could not resist at that price!
Hey me too!
:uhoh:SLW reminds me of something we used to do when I led the Hilltoppers with the Loudoun Hunt for a few years…WE scored the first flight jumps too!
It all started during the Olympics one year and I had my field perfectly situated (once again! :winkgrin:) to watch first flight & staff take the jump in front of us. I started telling them on landing what their score was as they passed us. Like gymnastics it was on a 10 scale. I ALWAYS gave the MFHs & Huntsman 9.9’s btw (good idear! :rolleyes:) and when a bad score was hollered out I said "and the Russian judge says 5.9!.
Universally, they all laughed like hell and could barely do the jumps after I’d done it a few times. They come up laughing and utter “Whoa”! or “Shit”! or “Aaaahhh!” or “Uh Oh” or whatever. The anticipation was always worse than the score. Amazing how self concious first flighters are! :lol::lol: My field totally loved it and sometimes we’d argue about the scores as a panel of judges would.
Then the ultimate was a weekend meet where I gave 3 other HT’s score cards to carry in their coats and hold up after they landed. We held up the score cards and everyone roared. Durn near lost a few first flighters jumping that day!! (But then the world doesn’t need more anyway!! :D:winkgrin::lol:)
HILLTOPPERS RULE!
Btw, my MFH’s liked it the best and told folks about it for years!
Hunting is 'sposed to make ya smile!!
Well, I have several flasks…pewter, stainless steel, leather wrapped. No pink ones though.
Booze tastes equally as good in any of 'em. :winkgrin:
But, most importantly, down here in the redneck capital of the world I always have my camoflage patterned one in a pocket ready to offer a sip to the locals.
