Hi there, glad to hear you enjoyed your first day's hunting. I assume it was autumn hunting, if your friend said the season hadn't commenced yet.

If it was, there is actually a 'dress code': helmet (with cover) or peaked cap; a hacking jacket, shirt, tie, gloves, cream jodhpurs and boots (correct dress is actually jodhpur boots).

Horses shouldn't be plaited, but should be well turned out (clean, pulled mane, etc.).

Dressing neatly and appropriately shoes respect for the landowner who's kindly allowing you cross their land, as well as for the hunt (and self respect, too!).
