Thank You Staff for the Great Season ...
We had a wonderful season, with great camaraderie and sport. We are very grateful to all who made this happen: landowners, Masters, huntsman, whips, field masters, ground crew, field secretaries, volunteers, territory chairs, tea chairs, jump crew, board, members and friends. This season we were pleased to welcome new members Marti L. Ann P. Indy T. Cindy P. Risa M. Emma G. Rachel D. Edie M. Cynthia F.! See you next season ... or sooner if you want to help with winter hound walks, the Ball is in February, Dressage Show scheduled for the last weekend in April, Hunter Pace Series dates selected ... a lot happens in the off-season too.
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!
