I usually don’t post on this forum, just visiting from the Eventing forum, but I thought I would chime in if you don’t mind.
I am not an “avid” foxhunter (mostly due to NEVER having the appropriate horse and then finally giving up), but I do enjoy it when I do go out. I do however have a long time boyfriend who is an Obcessive foxhunter! He is a Master and First Whip (and I am a member) of the Edisto River Hounds in Aiken, SC. He was told at the annual meeting in NY this year that he is supposedly the youngest Master in the MFHA at the moment (not verified, so don’t get mad at me if your son is a young master ). His mother is also a Founding Master of the Edisto Hunt.
His father is (or was…I can’t keep up) on the hunt committee at the Shakerag Hunt in GA. I have had a great time hunting with them on several occasions, all VERY inviting people!
And my first hunt was with the Midland Foxhounds. It was probably 6 yrs ago that I went out with them some, but it was my first experience with foxhunting and I enjoyed it very much.
*I will say that even though I generall miss out on hunting because of weekly horse trials, I THOROUGHLY enjoy the social life that comes with hunting! :winkgrin: Hunt balls and yearly trips to NYC are so much fun, and hunt parties are always a blast no matter what hunt you are enjoying the company of.
