Celebrating Fall

What better way to celebrate fall in New England than out foxhunting among the foliage. While I’m not in the saddle, I can at least take photos, and today I caught the waning colors of leaf season. It looked like an excellent day to be chasing hounds!

You can tell a whip’s horse because they are always watching the hounds. Padi is the perfect color for fall. He blends right in.

And the hounds are cast! Just imagine the music of the horn and the voice of the hounds.

The sheer joy of the hounds is fun to watch

Smart horse! She knows you can get hungry out hunting.

Relaxing in the water bucket is a favorite activity of the hounds after a good run.

The treats are obviously a big hit!
