Picture of the Week

Karenan Smart took a fun photo of the De La Brooke Foxhounds visiting the Potomac River at a recent meet this November.

What a gorgeous place in Sherborn, Massachusetts for the location of the Norfolk Hunt’s 2023 Opening Meet. Ruth Baltopoulos was the photographer who was there for the colors and living history on parade at the Charlescote Farm Meet.

The first week of July was Millbrook Hunt's first day of roading hounds.  This is Millbrook Hunt's 116th season, which is just amazing.

 The off season is puppy season.  Susan Walker's Longreen Foxhounds have a very cozy whelping box at Susan's house outside of Memphis, Tennessee.

Such a lovely example of a Penn-Marydel in De La Brooke Foxhounds’ Dude.  Not only is he a handsome fellow, but he would make a very nice show jumper with those tight knees!   Originally published on April 3, 2023

“Foxhunting is all about the moment between moments.” - Kristy Lathrop of Fort Leavenworth Hunt.

Here is a moment between moments, a young boy and a hound pause in the middle of the chaotic time when the hunt is gathering to begin the day’s sport. Content with their own company, two souls soak in the living history before them.

Douglas Lees caught sight of a gorgeous red fox while out with the Piedmont Fox Hounds at Over Creek Farm.

The 2022 Opening Meet for De la Brooke Foxhounds in Maryland offered us two striking images - one in stark relief and one in full sunshine.

Sedgefield Hunt's coyotes are masters at sneaking by unnoticed. Photo by Edward Haynes.

Edward Haynes was in the right place at the right time to catch this coyote dart right in front of him, unlike the unsuspecting gentleman in the background who was sorely out of luck on this day with Sedgefield Hunt in North Carolina.

Jeff Hendrickson took this wonderful photo on Thanksgiving of Linda Knox McLean, MFH of Aiken Hounds in South Carolina, trying to keep the biscuits away from the pack! Such joy is seen on all faces, as it should be on Thanksgiving Day.
