It was cold, by South Florida standards, at 45 degrees a little after 6 a.m. on Jan. 2, when the rigs bringing the horses and riders in to the Palm Beach Hounds Quailands territory started to arrive to begin the new season.
Waiting at a check for the Palm Beach Hounds Opening Meet action to begin again were (from left) Bruce Ferguson, MFH Bob Pelio, and Field Master Art Cirkus.
