Words by Max Houghton - Photographs by Jon Levy "Tally-ho!!" A cry that has echoed across the hills and valleys of the English countryside for five hundred years. The sight of the scarlet coats and black velvet caps, the sound of a hundred hooves galloping and canine tongues panting on a crisp winter's morning evoke a tradition that may soon be obliterated from the English landscape forever. The pictures here are of the Chiddingfold and Leaconsfield Hunt in West Sussex, England last year. Although the atavistic aristocratic framework of hunting still exists, today the hunt brings together a scattered rural community. Two young men sharing a joke, arranging a football game, seem like lifelong friends. It is only on hearing their voices that it becomes evident that one was schooled at Eton, the other, a terrierman from Wales. Captain Snodgrass, an army man, rides alongside school girls from the county Pony Club. Locals from the surrounding villages gather to watch the spectacle. The future of hunting with dogs has become an issue as likely to be debated at metropolitan dinner parties as by the people whose livelihoods have depended on hunting for generations. They are the stablehands, the grooms and the whippers-in. The terriermen, the blacksmiths and the huntsmen. Country people with country skills, not easily transferable. In remote areas already hard hit by the lack of sustained government investment in farming, the consequences of a complete ban would be far reaching.The findings of a committee of inquiry report into hunting with dogs, lead by Lord Burns, is unequivocal about how a ban would affect rural employment. "Between 6,000 and 8,000 full-time equivalent jobs depend on hunting."

Please download your free copy from ADOBE FOXHUNTING DEMONSTRATION Press Release Reprinted from Horse Country Magazine June 2002 CEOs Learn Hunt Country Is Not a Theme Park For Anna Lee Horton, who hosts special corporate events at her elegant Lockesly Manor in Clarke County near Middleburg, Virginia, it was a creative business idea. For the two hundred executives and CEOs of major corporate clients of Equant, attending a week of marketing presentations in Chantilly, Virginia, it was an unusual evening’s entertainment. For the Blue Ridge Hunt, it was an opportunity to explain foxhunting to a worldly group of individuals who knew nothing about the sport. It turned out to be a resounding success for all. Ten, small, well-appointed buses, at intervals of several minute each, turned into the avenue and drove slowly between the manicured boxwoods toward the broad front steps of the estate. Flanking the steps were a pair of riders astride well-groomed hunters and two Masters on foot, all in formal hunting attire. The passengers disembarked and were welcomed and engaged in conversation by the foxhunters. They were offered cocktails and canapes by the catering staff, and after all had arrived, they were escorted through the mansion to the terrace behind, where, across the expanse of rolling lawn, hounds were paraded by the Blue Ridge huntsman. Suddenly a whipper-in “halloaed”; the gone away sounded; huntsman and hounds galloped a large circle; and the quarry was “marked to ground” under a foot bridge where hounds enthusiastically discovered the kibble that had been dropped there earlier.

169. Economist.com | Foxhunting Small issues sometimes have large symbolic power, and the government's weakness shows in its defeat on foxhunting although the issue is still not settled. There is still the House of Lords, the Parliament Act, the courts and the ECHR to get through, and even then the police claim it will be unenforceable. http://www.economist.com/World/europe/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1897659

Help EDITIONS Change to World Thursday, 29 August, 2002, 13:28 GMT 14:28 UK Tories threaten to topple hunt ban Hunting's future is going out to talks Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith has signalled he would overturn a ban on foxhunting if he became prime minister. Mr Duncan Smith is planning to be among what organisers predict will be the one million protestors on the Liberty and Livelihoods countryside march next month. He made his new pledge as he visited the Buckinghamshire County Show in Aylesbury on Thursday. "If there was to be an outright ban, an incoming Conservative government would make time to repeal any illiberal legislation," said Mr Duncan Smith. Ministers are currently continuing six months of consultation, which was announced in March, over the hunting issue. Route to a ban? Rural Affairs Minister Alun Michael Mr Michael has said the government wants to find "common ground" but will use the Parliament Act to force through the new plans if they met obstruction in the Lords. The government will also let MPs get their way over lords' wishes if the House of Commons changed ministers' plans so there were no exceptions to a ban, says Mr Michael.

Home About me Links Logs ... Guestbook Branston The Diary of an English Hunting Horse Branston really exists, and these pages chronicle the events in his life since he came into my keeping. With some few exceptions for artistic licence, the events all actually happened as described. For those of you who may have ethical objections to fox hunting or don't understand the pun on Branston's Pickles, please take the time to read the site documentation Who is Branston ? Stories Hi. I'm Branston; the new kid on the block. I'm a 6 year old Thoroughbred X Irish Draught, about 16.2hh, and as brown as my name suggests; I'm clever, generous, devastatingly handsome, and special in one other particular way. I'm a computer-literate horse. I live in a lovely friendly livery yard near Bath and go hunting whenever I can. Spuds (as in "A sack of Spuds") is Him Up Top; my human best friend. He pays my stable bills and expects me to work for him from time to time in return. Whenever Spuds is away I borrow his word-processor to write stories about my escapades, and send emails to my human friends on the Internet. Ever since I mastered the word-processor (tricky for a horse) it has been my ambition to become the world's first horse to have his memoirs published. This will help to compensate Spuds for my huge feed bill and all the other expenses associated with owning a celebrity horse. All of my stories are true, I promise you. Only some human's names have been changed to protect the innocent; there are no recorded instances of my fellow horses suing for libel.
