Children are brought to the Meet on lead reins, often with their parents mounted on a horse but I would presume (hope) this little girl had someone on foot leading her. They often just stay on their ponies until the Hunt sets off, unless they are competent little riders, but even then, they are not allowed to hunt on their own without parental or adult supervisio until they are 16 years old.
The Hunt these days is much faster than in years gone by as the scent trail is pre-laid and there is a lot of galloping and they know where they are going.
Ok that's the facts - I think its bloody ridiculous letting children anywhere near a Hunt and its mainly, if not always, done by leading members on the Hunt to basically' show off' the next generation.
Many Moons ago it was a great honour to be 'blooded' as a child -that is the Huntsman smearing the child's face with fresh blood from the dead fox. The whole lot are total morons.

Just to add, after reading the article - if this hunt was out in September at 8 am they were 'cubbing' which is illegal -I hope someone jumps on this. A hunt official says they were not on an 'Official' hunt -no I bet they blinking weren't -cubbing under the pretence of exercising the hounds. IF anyone wants to know what cubbing best Google it.
webbo The whole thing is a farce, they are still hunting and killling foxes. If a hunting landowner has a problem with a fox he rings the Hunt kennels and the Huntsmen come along to 'exercise' their hounds (without followers) and oh dearly me there's been an 'accident' and one of the hounds has killed a fox by mistake. They totally take the P. Notice I say 'Landowners' because there is not one farmer I know that likes the Hunt around this area.

Totally agree APG
I perhaps should replace the word farmers with landowners. That is is all we really have around here and the still expect people to 'touch their caps' to them. Many still do!! We don't.

We are lucky to own our own land but are surrounded by two of the biggest Land estates in the North East. The land agents act like they still live in the 1900's and treat the Tenants like muck. They are told they are obliged to let the Hunt over their land, no question. Before Hunting was 'banned' I've chased many a Hunt from coming up our lane. They presume because you have horses you Hunt too. I'm like a rural Peggy Michell from East-enders 'Get off of my Land!' LOL!

Of course accidents happen to children - and adults - everywhere every day.
But common sense dictates that you don't deliberately put yourself, or more importantly your child, in harm's way.
Part of being a parent is ensuring that you minimise risks for your children as far as possible.
Putting a two year old on a horse during a hunt is clearly not doing that.

Also they were illegally cubbing, not hunting, as they were out at 8 am on a Wednesday. Normal Hunts meet at 11am. Often kids are taken out on lead reins for cubbing.
