  2. So you guys hunt for rabbits? Do the hounds always kill the hare? And do you jump those crazy mad wire fences? That is wild!

  3. Wow! That looks like sooooo much fun! I love seeing all your pictures. I would love to see video of you and your wonderful horses in action. I have learned so much from you by just reading.

  4. It is fun. I am enjoying it. I like it when we get lots of galloping! We hunt hare because they run in huge circles and don't disappear underground like bunnies do. Yea we jump the wire fences, I don't like the wire fences much I have to say. The last hunt they didn't even have poles across, just the top wire is pulled down and I find that especially scary especially when Connie starts touching wires. I always worry the horses wont see them but they seem to! I'm glad I have something to teach!
