That is so cool! I would have loved to have been there. I have a beagle/coonhound mix, I can just see him out there running with the dogs. Of course, he'd get distracted 30 seconds in, but still lol
This is going to be my last visit (at least for a while) Sue, as I am having to prioritise and manage my time a little differently - I have greatly enjoyed my weekly visits to places different from my usual rounds - but sometimes its necessary to pull on the reins!!! You'll remain on my blogroll and watch out for me gee-plussing here there and everywhere &*> Hugs, YAM xx
I'm not sure these folks actually hunt (as in kill) foxes. They were having the hounds track the scent of fox urine that was put on a rag, then drug along through the woods and fields prior to the "hunt". It was fascinating to watch!
Happy post Memorial Day! My WW includes horses too, they are gentle giants, dignified and lovely creatures. In your pics, we see that the horse and rider act as one, a team bond that is so nice to see!
My art teacher from the art workshop I attended last weekend loves participating in these mock hunts. I learned that the dogs may not be referred to as dogs, but as hounds. Her stories were very colorful, but she's either crazy or very brave, because the riders have some nasty falls. I was thinking how much I'd love to photograph such an event and amazed to see that you did just that and posted your pics in the same week that I was interested in the subject. :)
I am not so good yet with speed photography, so for me they are all difficult to take. So very clear fotos. Why do they have to employ a lot of dogs too?
Lovely pictures ... check out the smile in the leader's face in the first picture and the seriousness on his face in the second! :-) #aNoviceMumCommentLuv
Good captures of the hunt! Interesting set of pics. Nice to see they were just chasing the scent as you say in your comment above. It's always hard with hunts, it looks so glamourous and farmers will say foxes are a pest especially for sheep but it must be a nasty way to die when they do hunt animals. Bit controversial in Ireland too

ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I had never seen it before. Super cool shots.

DeleteThat's alright then!
DeleteGreat photos. Really fascinating.
ReplyDeleteVery cool pictures. Not something you see every day.
ReplyDeletereminded me of days long gone :)

ReplyDeleteThat last picture is amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting. Cool pictures. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting and fun day of riding, beautiful pictures !!
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I don't like hunting at all ! Although it's sometimes necessary !
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the hunt.
ReplyDeleteHope they they succeed in getting their trophies!
ReplyDeleteHow neat!
ReplyDeletethe pictures are great although I do not agree on hunting . We have a hunt near us but they only chase a dummy not a real animal lol
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel like this is a scene out of Mary Poppins?
ReplyDeleteThere are many fox here in Colorado but I've never seen a fox hunt like this!

ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! Want to see something like this too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! I have never really seen anything like this even though I grew up in England.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Sue!

ReplyDeleteSome traditions need to be kept - like the hunt! Love the pic with the one horseman and all the doggies:):)
This is so cool.

Seems anachronistic, but they still do this in Virginia Hunt Country, not that far from here. Run fox run!
ReplyDeleteThe hunt looks exciting - the color - the outdoors - the beautiful horses - WOW!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never seen a fox hunt before. Great pics of it. :) Thanks for the linky.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I've never seen a fox hunt, either, only pictured it in my head from books.
ReplyDeleteI am not so good yet with speed photography, so for me they are all difficult to take. So very clear fotos. Why do they have to employ a lot of dogs too?
ReplyDeleteThey make for lovely pictures, but I've never understood the appeal of so many people and dogs going after the same poor animal.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I screeched with delight when I saw the pictures of all the dogs surrounding the man in the horse ;0)
ReplyDeleteAs a child I went fox hunting, these photos brought it all back, they are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWren x
What great photos! That first shot is awesome! Thank you for joining us for Photo Friday again!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos! Such an English event for this Anglophile to soak up!
ReplyDeletesooo cool..I only see these scenes on TV or movies. It must be a wonderful experience to be there :)

Impressive. Never easy to catch people or animals moving.
ReplyDeleteI miss riding so much, sure would have liked to have been on one of those beautiful horses.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Thank you for your beautiful blog.

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Share A Smile. Sorry I missed your linky, I am a bit behind this week.
ReplyDeleteThese are such great shots! I am not a fan of hunting, but I understand that there are "mock" hunts -- perhaps this is one of those?
ReplyDeleteThese shots are great. I absolutely love them.
