(6) It is understood by the LOANER that the HORSE….. (examples - insert own
particulars as applicable)
- cribs and must wear a crib collar at all times except when being ridden,
- has COPD & can't be bedded down on straw,
- is allergic to penicillin,
- turns into a lunatic if galloped in company - particularly out hunting,
- throws itself in front of large or noisy lorries, buses and other vehicles
without warning,
(or anything else the BORROWER needs to know to safeguard both the
horse's health and well-being and his own.)

Draghunting involves the pursuit of a pack of hounds following an artificial scent laid down by a runner or mounted rider earlier in the day.

The route usually takes the following mounted horseback riders over a variety of jumps including both Hunt built fences and natural obstacles such as stone walls, hedges, ditches and farmer's fences.

Contrary to popular belief, draghunting is not a new sport. Oxford University was one of the first to form a drag hunt closely followed by Cambridge University. The Household Brigade formed a drag hunt in 1863, the Royal Artillery at Woolwich in 1866 and the the Staff College and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1869.

Many of these packs still continue and thrive today. Many additional packs have been formed during the past few decades - The North East Cheshire in 1958, the Anglesey in 1973, the Berks and Bucks in 1974 and the Saddleworth (re-established) in 1985. The last five years have seen even more packs applying for registration.

Sorry, turns out that draghunting isn't quite that exciting...

OUCH! I mean, think about it. With a horse, there are only so many places you could stick pipes out of them... and the exhaust... whince*

Usually horses are more conversational than humans. They are also very up on current events.
