100 Years of Experience Win at Hunt Night
Hunt horse BB Charm, foaled in 2002, won Hunt Night’s Gentleman’s Hunter Under Saddle with ex-MFH Sandy Rives, age 77, in the irons at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show back in October.
A Whipper-In Lays Down His Whip
Barclay Rives decided that at the end of this 2023-2024 season, he would retire from hunting with Keswick Hunt Club in Virginia. Rives has been whipping-in for 53 years with Keswick, and he is a prolific writer (his book called “See You at Second Horses” is a personal favorite). To meet Barclay is to experience the most gentle and charming smile. I was privileged to interview him at Keswick’s Closing Meet party this past March.
