Blessing of the Hounds ...
Once again, we marked the opening of Formal Season with our meet at Yorkfield Farm, Kensington, on Saturday 1-October with the traditional Blessing of the Hounds, where Reverend Carol Waleryzak officiated. The ceremony traces its roots to St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters who was born into nobility in 7th Century French Aquitaine. This annual tradition is a rite observed by hunts all over the world and going back many years. We usher in our formal season, with its more formal and traditional attire, plus longer and faster hunts as hound, horse and rider are now fit and prepared for the season’s hunt. Please come out to join us, whether hunting or “chasing” the hunt on foot or by car. We are so pleased to have Judy Carey back to send us off to the sound of the bagpipes!
