Huntsmen converged on Virginia for the Bull Run Hunt huntsman’s invitational on Jan. 4. Undaunted by predictions of dire weather, representatives of seven Virginia and Maryland foxhound packs brought a total of 211⁄2 couple of Crossbred, American, English and Pennmarydel hounds for an exhilarating day of sport and fellowship.

I went to the airline counter at a little after midnight. “It’s probably in Phoenix, but it will take at least 24 hours to locate it,” said the airline representative of my bag.  That was not good news, as Lynn’s traveling foxhunting crew was picking me up at 7 a.m. to go on the road trip to Belmont.

Belmont is a ghost town in central Nevada about 7,400 feet in elevation. It has no public utilities: no electricity, no mail, no phones, and no stores to buy the needed particulars to replace those currently vacationing with my luggage.

The blue ribbon hanging from Sundance's bridle after the Western District qualifier for the Centennial Field Hunter Championships wasn't just another prize for Terry Olsen. "This horse was a project, and over the years, people have told me to get rid of him, asking me why I keep him. So, I think it was a very special win," she said.

Rombout Hunt Celebrates Their 75th Opening Meet

The gloomy upstate New York skies couldn't overshadow the opening meet of the 75th anniversary of the Rombout Hunt on Oct. 2. Some 45 riders, including 15 juniors from 6 to 15, assembled at Jt.-MFH Suzie Cannavino's Gone Away Farm in Hyde Park to celebrate.
