The Riding Safari
Photos by Garth Thompson and Derek de la Harpe
The author discovers a new adventure on horseback that features good horses, wide open spaces, abundant wildlife, and a measure of risk.
Ten horsemen stood on the bank of the Mara River under the midday equatorial sun as Tristan explained the crossing.
“We must cross here and land on the far bank at that tree, you see. You must point your horse upstream so the current doesn’t carry you down to the hippos there.”
Foxhunting Travel Checklist
Here are my personal checklists for foxhunting travel. Using them won’t guarantee an incident-free trip, as I once discovered after leaving all my tack in the stable driveway. But barring such stupidity on your part, they will go a long way in assuring that you have what you need when you get there! Click on the printer icon to print the lists for yourself, and check off as you pack. And let us know what’s missing, so we can add it for the next guy or girl.
Huntsmen of Our Time
Excerpts from Huntsmen of Our Time by Kenneth Ligertwood, Pelham Books, London, 1968 (Out of print, but used copies are available on the Internet)
This book, containing a collection of articles first published in Horse and Hound (UK), was brought to my attention by Dennis Downing, huntsman at the Blue Ridge Hunt (VA). Each story—forty-five in all—profile an outstanding English huntsman of the author’s time. Here are short excepts from three of the stories to give you a flavor of this delightful book.
A Bright Hunting Morn: The 125th Anniversary of Radnor Hunt
Bright Hunting Morn: The 125th Anniversary of Radnor Hunt, The Derrydale Press, 2008, 357 pages, four-color, 10-1/4 x 14 inches (large format), glossy, ISBN 1-58667-111-1
Reviews:
“…beautiful tome, written and crafted with great attention to detail….wonderful vintage photographs and gorgeous artwork….magnificent.” (Covertside, Spring 2009)
This article from The Philadelphia Inquirer on November 29, 1889 was reproduced in Bright Hunting Morn: The 125th Anniversary of Radnor Hunt by Collin F. Mc Neill. The merits of the English and the American hounds were being argued by their respective proponents even then!
Cadence of Hooves: A Celebration of Horses
If you like poetry and if you like horses, here is a big anthology of perhaps 300 poems by more than 170 leading contemporary poets. The collection was selected and edited by Suzan Jantz, editor of the Yarroway Mountain Press, www.yarrowaymountainpress.com. The California State University Research and Creativity Foundation provided a grant for the project.
Cadence of Hooves contains a broad range of horse-centered poems by horse lovers from every discipline. With permission, from time to time FHL will bring you selections from this lovely book. For the first such offering, here is a favorite of mine by 1986 Pulitzer Prize winner Henry Taylor.
