This was the “Come as you are” Hunt. The object was to introduce new people to Hunting and try to recruit new members. We had over 30 people in attendance. There were three fields to accommodate all riding preferences.

We headed out the driveway and then worked south into the woods. We worked southward and then started working our way East.

We crossed the creek and worked our way back along the bluffs. Hounds spoke for a while along the bluffs.

We then worked near the hog farm and through the woods. All was well with the new members. The only casualty being Tess who was kicked. She recovered quickly though and was back in the saddle by the following Wednesday’s hunt.
