Thanksgiving Hunt

With sun shining and the countryside bursting with fall splendor, the Ottawa Valley Hunt had a large gathering to enjoy their Thanksgiving Hunt. Many arrived in trailers, even as far away as New York State to the beautiful farm owned by Peter & Kay Leach, near Appleton Ontario. Others enjoyed a hack to the hunt meet from neighbouring farms.

Although the day was actually a little too warm for the hounds to perform at their best in picking up the scent of the fox, Sue Hobin and the hounds of the OVH looked magnificent as they trotted off with three very large groups following in behind.

The horses represented an interesting mixture of breeds with riders ranging from children to "super adults". The one common factor was that all were enjoying the comradeship and great spirit that this Thanksgiving Hunt promised.
