The Fox went to Ground but I Didn't
An article by Steven D. Price from Practical Horseman, October 2008.
Excerpt:
You've got to come hunting, said Norman
Fine, my friend and host. The invitation was
much appreciated, but not without a few sober second thoughts. I hunted twice in my
life, but that was three decades ago. This was now: my
body is 30-plus years older and, no thanks to sciatica, not exactly hunting fit.
Accordingly, my current
equestrian adventures
focus on courses of speedbump-
sized jumps augmented
by trail rides on
unflappable horses.
