About This Book

The author recounts personal memories of drag- and fox-hunting, point-to-point steeplechases, and other field sports, combining vivid riding anecdotes, descriptions of horses and hounds, and practical reflections on training and kennel management. Chapters range from university drags and parliamentary point-to-points to hare, cub, and badger hunting, including one long celebrated run and portraits of notable mounts and participants. Social and sporting detail mixes with technical notes on jumping, scenting, and pack behavior, while occasional sketches of companions and mishaps convey the culture and camaraderie of rural sporting life.
