| Min, genuinely, character developing experience 🤣 some woman felt so sorry for me she leant me her little cob to take out that Boxing Day, who was an absolute legend! Literally pootled along on the buckle, in a happy mouth loose ring, he was SO much fun |

| Christ almighty Oak! Im tempted to try a hireling but Im not sure Im brave enough 🤣🤣 Might just wait until Ted is ridden and take him bloodhounding (and use his age as an excuse to not attempt anything over 30cm 🤣) |
| Oakmoss Stud |
| I was taken out for my 13th(?) birthday on one, the bloke who ran the company was completely dodgy (traveller, used to buy whatever he could get his hands on from our local market) but he also had a side business in driving, hearses and displays etc. The gelding that I got was a huge, hogged out Irish thing, went in a dutch gag and a martingale and still had a mouth like concrete. Turns out it was driven through the week and only hunted on weekends. We got to the halfway field, he offered to swap horses to show me that he wasn't too bad, sat on it for all of 5 minutes and sent it back to the lorries. I think it broke a man's back the following week! Needless to say, I don't think he was welcome with that pack in the future |

| To be fair, most of them are pretty good. The owners cannot afford an absolute nutter. Too many insurance claims |
| Oakmoss Stud |
| River, I'm very tempted to take a hireling out before closing meet this year, as my pony is too much os an asbo to be trusted (and desperately unfit). The only hireling I've ever taken was an utter psychopath, however 🤣 |
| The Valley |
| I always found riding a hireling the most interesting, I never knew what to expect. |
