The Hounds are on a scent... by julzmaioro

The Hounds are on a scent...

Another scene from the Hunt the other day.. I was corrected a few times when I called the 'Hounds' 'Dogs'..
The Hounds are on to a scent here but it turned out to be a rabbit so they were called off.. Not allowed to chase rabbits.. only Hares both are regarded as pests here in NZ as they were introduced for hunting purposes.
It was a great day out for Men/women horses and Hounds and us spectators.

But rabbits are a pest too. The only thing is a hare might give the hounds a good race. I thought they didn't do this any more!

A beautiful hunt scene. The hills in the background are gorgeous as well.

We never had the hunt over our fields but although it looks fabulous Harry would have been worried about the mess the horses might make with their hooves! Hope the ground was hard!

@happypat didn't see any sign of too much hoof damage but they certainly can. We use yo have them come through our farm but as we have some pretty steep hills they dud make a bit if a mess and took a bit for the paddocks to recover..
