Tis' the season - for foxhunting. I had a ton of fun riding to hounds in Germany. No fox ever got killed, as all hunts are drag hunts where the dogs follow the scent of a line laid be the huntsman before.
Reminiscing with our farrier the other day he told me that he goes out sometimes with the Metamora Hunt. It would be perfect starting in the 2nd field (no jumping). While checking more into this and an instructor that could prepare us for it I went to Fair Play Farm's website and read this quote that just fits so perfectly:
"There's no better place than a stable, I've found. It's the only place with solid footing. When I'm standing beside a horse, I feel that I'm neither girl or boy; child or adult; strong or weak. I'm accepted just as I am. And there, and only there, I can breathe."
The journey of two Morgans: *Saumur*: Dismissed as not-trainable by experienced trainers and the Amish alike. Together we worked our way from learning to steer to the USDF Bronze Medal. Saumur passed away in 2022 at the age of 26. *Remy*: Cheerful, loving -but not without quirks- on his way up the levels. This is also a tribute to the remarkable professionals helping us along the way, Roz Kinstler, Lisa Oberg, Vanessa Voltman; and most of all to Jean-Paul, husband extra-ordinaire.
