Saturday, September 1 , marked the end of houndwalking for Mr. Stewart’s Cheshire Foxhounds in Unionville, PA and what better way to bring the season to a close but an early evening ride out from the kennels followed by a covered-dish supper? Instead of meeting with the hounds at 7:00 AM, the “meet” was called for 5:00 PM.

New Vocations A Team Effort
Tuesday, September 25 2012
We are frequently asked “what is the secret to your adoption success?” The answer to this question is not a short one. There is a lot that goes into New Vocations successfully adopting out over 400 retired racehorses a year. The one major factor to our success that I would like to spotlight is the teamwork that goes on daily behind the scenes. It is the passionate commitment by our team of underpaid and over worked employees and volunteers that keeps New Vocations going. New Vocations was started in 1992 by Dot Morgan when she set out to provide a safety net for horses retiring from the racetrack so they might find a home and therefore have a future.

Warrent♥n Hunt Night Neighs & News: When The Going Gets Tough, The F♥xhunters Keep Going!
Monday, September 03 2012
We had a great time all week at the Warrent♥n H♥rse Sh♥w! Yes, blogging is writing and requires great effort, concentration and a certain amount of discipline in order to achieve good results, but we persevered and delivered the goods every day in the way of a new post and photos. On Sunday, the finale of the Warrenton Horse Show’s Hunt Night, we have to admit: we had a blast! Cubhunting Begins Officially Sunday started early, cubhunting dragging us out of the comfort of our cozy nest in order to get to the kennels 7:30-ish. Our favorite green field hunter was going to be tried by a prospective buyer and we wanted to be there to send Picasso off with love and positive energy – never mind that our heart is about to break because we love this talented young paint.
