Quiet for Hunting means...what?

[QUOTE=wateryglen;3813033]
Quiet for me means…that there’s almost no sounds coming from them & me when we’re hunting…:winkgrin:…no squealing, thudding, grunting, neighing, farting, snorting, cussing and most of all…no breaking sounds!! :yes: and no screaming sounds!!
Laughing sounds good - crying/yelling not so good! If you hear bad words coming from either of us = bad. If you hear “Whoa dammit” or “Oh no!” or “Uh oh” or “Oh shit” you can bet one of us isn’t being quiet!! :smiley:

If I’m smiling when I come in and am in one piece? = Good quiet fieldhunter![/QUOTE]

This is just plain funny.

You didn’t mention the classic “NO BRAKES!” which particularly endears one to the other members of the field.

I think everyone has had that “NO BRAKES” time.

Earlier this season I had my new hunter out. Its his first season and he’s hilltopping. We get on a run and we are at the back of the second flight. The run continues and goes over the crest of a hill and then down the hill. That’s when that racing experience kicked in.

Since the hill side was wet, my options were limited to apologizing to the master after we blew past the second flight and first flight. It would have made a great stretch run call.

Quiet for hunting means it stands quietly amongst the group while i receive my stirrup cup and chit chat with friends :smiley:

Thanks for everyone’s replies! I rode him this weekend and he was absolutely brilliant - so he’s coming home with me! He helped me get over some fears that I had due to some riding accidents earlier this year, rode past a ton of scary stuff, and was totally non-reactive to me even though I’m sure I was communicating sheer and absolute terror to him (the accidents that I had earlier this year caused even mounting to be absolutely fear provoking!)

I’ll post pictures when I have good ones, but honestly, I’m so thrilled with this horse!

Gettingback- That is fantastic news!! Be sure to post pics when you get them and happy hunting!:slight_smile:
