We followed along in the Tally-Ho wagon. It was all veddy civilized with a stirrup cup of port before starting and champagne afterwards! Trish, I would love it if you would take one of your gorses on the hunt as a HIlltopper. I can only imagine the comments as that can be a very snooty

Everyone on the Tally-Ho wagons was very nice but I do know what you mean about snooty. I found it more amongst the younger riders. The older ones were very warm. I'm not sure how this group is, but the one time I rode with the hunt, I really thought I was going to die - what a group of

I just turned it over to my horse and he brought me home in one piece. It's a neat story about the horse I rode that day. His name was Bowling Green and he was owned by a gentleman that started a textile company that made a huge percentage of the denim sold in the US along with other
