Master’s Prophesy Fulfilled
“The day he was born, I held him in the palm of my hand and looked at him. I had just seen the movie, Gladiator, and the name came to me. ‘Maximus….Maximus!’ I said. ‘One day you are going to be Grand Champion at the Virginia Foxhound Show.’” So recounted the proud and jubilant Joint-Master of the Live Oak Hounds, C. Martin Wood III, two years later, minutes after Live Oak Maximus 2009 was judged Grand Champion at the Virginia Foxhound Show on Sunday, May 30, 2010 at Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia. J.W.Y. “Duck” Martin, MFH, who judged the Grand Champion class, chose the English hound over the Crossbred, American, and Penn-Marydel champions based on his extravagantly beautiful way of moving.

Hunting, then Eating
Marcia Brody, whipper-in for the New Market-Middletown Hunt (MD), has teamed up with photographer Liz Callar to provide a short report and slide show of the Third Annual Bull Run Huntsman’s Hunt held last March. See article below. Check out the latest recipe posted by Andrew Clarke — Salsa di Parmigiano. It looks easy to make and delicious. I plan to make it for the next hunt trail ride at my farm. And as soon as my tomatoes start producing, I’ll make it to spread over them. As Andrew says, “The possibilities are endless.” How about sharing one of your own favorite hunt breakfast recipes with FHL? Submissions are easy to post.

Greetings!
I’m excited to introduce our new website—FOXHUNTING LIFE.
FHL brings you not only informative and entertaining content, but valuable reference and resource information—all in one place.
Introducing New FHL Features for Professional Staff and Juniors
As a result of talking to some of you early viewers, we have decided to add two more categories of subscriptions to our existing Charter Subscription offer—one for professional staff and one for juniors—each at half the price. The Professional Staff Subscription and the Junior Subscription, each at $20.00, give those subscribers access to all FHL content. Furthermore, we have created networks within Forum for each of these subscriber groups. Hunt staff members are able to interact with each other and seek advice from their peers in a more focused environment, and Juniors may converse in their own language, a form of communication that remains utterly unintelligible to the adult world.
