Hunting

In the 1990s, the Chronicle was there for the highlights, such as two Olympic Games and three World Equestrian Games, as well as the lows like the horse insurance killings involving Barney Ward, George Lindemann, Paul Valliere and several others.
For better or worse, during the 1980s, the culture of the horse world entered the modern world, becoming more specialized and more of a business, and less bound by tradition.
Plenty of major changes swept through the equestrian community during the 1970s. In international competition, the U.S. Equestrian Team was a major international force, with show jumping, dressage and eventing squads sweeping the 1975 Pan American Games (Mexico City) gold medals, and all three teams earning medals over the course of the Olympic Games in Munich (1972) and Montreal (1976).
The decade of the 1960s was a golden era for horse sports and for the Chronicle. The ‘60s saw glamorous hunter stars like Cold Climate, Cap And Gown, and Isgilde become famous. The U.S. Equestrian Team sent jumper stars like Frank Chapot, Bill Steinkraus, Kathy Kusner and Hugh Wiley overseas to compete, and they won on the biggest stages like Aachen.

There were no hurt feelings in the open timber race at the Warrenton Hunt Point-To-Point Hunt Races, March 18, after both horses were declared the
winner in an exciting dead heat finish.

The eight-horse race scratched down to three--EMO Stable's Fast Steppin Man (Carl Rafter), Nina Strawbridge's Navesink View (James Slater) and Jack Griswold's Prince Manila (Pete Brown-Whale).
Mist curled around the distant hills like a gentle white stream and teased us with the promise of winter as we gathered at Mollywood for the first cast. Chip Anderson, the professional huntsman for Tryon Hounds, prepared to loose the pack in the near thicket while hounds' noses lifted on the wind, scenting the air, and horses danced lightly on their feet, eager in the brisk autumn air.
The British colonists who brought foxhunting to Long Island couldn't have possibly imagined what it would face there in the 20th and 21st centuries. Since
World War II, the eastward expansion of the New York City suburbs have gobbled up the 110-mile-long and 21-mile-wide island and nearly wiped out the sport.

Young Riders Enjoy A Banner Day

The next generation of Ozark foxhunters and coyote chasers mounted up Dec. 6 for the Misty River Hounds’ annual junior invitational foxhunt. Before their day ended, the 75 riders and guests enjoyed several wild runs, a viewing of a black coyote and an altercation with a mad momma cow.
