Annual Foxhunter Show
Pairs, hunt teams, junior classes and handy hunter, with a "pigpen" lunch.
The Millington upper ring turned into a fall fest, with spectacular views of leaves changing, mountain views and cold, sharp winds! Exhibitors and families who came out and braved the cold were entertained with a selection of great classes designed to test the foxhunter's skills, including pairs on the flat, pairs over fences, handy hunter, open hunter, and the ever popular hunt team class, where three horse/rider combinations finish their course with a simultaneous, side-by-side jump each over their own obstacle. The traditonal "pig pen" lunch was a treat, with chicken tetrazzini, deviled eggs galore, and spicy bloody mary cocktails to warm that wind.Click photo to see more pictures. Results below.
