Hey congrats JSwan on your pace placing!
BBTB- how funny TSA blinked at your glamour stuff! Maybe next time slip a handwritten note in there before hand “No explosives or harm in here. I am a fox hunter and we have fun.”
Pictures available!!
Pictures of our day with the Ashland Bassets and our cothers are now available (all 190 of them) on:
www.klmimages.com/ab_20101_05
I have a red sweatshirt on and carrying a big stick! Highlights include pics of PleasantMeadows family, Mr./Mrs. Hinderella, Mr. Whicker, and others of us.
Enjoy…
There’s more fun to come…
Great photos!
The Mary Washington fencing jacket belongs to one of my gallant sons. He is also wearing the English cap. Mr wicker is all in blue with the outlander hat. I’m in pink with a scarf. we had a terrific time watching the bassets surprise bunnies. We had a bunny run a circle around us, way ahead of the hounds. He was in no danger with his speed.
I’m glad everyone enjoyed the coth hunt. I had fun putting it together, getting to know all of you, and celebrating my first time back hunting in 5 years.( I broke my back when a deer hit me while I was galloping my big DWB, as you recall)
I was riding my green dressage mare, Ruby, and she was superb for her first time out. Makes the 2 years of training worth while.
BigBayTB gave me a magic wand to go with the tiara sporting blinking lights and pink feathers. Perfect for conjuring up another magical coth hunt.:D:lol:
Save your pennies, get fitter, Coth will ride again!
Just gotta love those LLOOONNNG Basset ears! It’s great to see all my new friends in pictures…and I’m so glad I bought a new hat at the races. Now that cold weather is here, I won’t be able to wear it anymore up here in the frozen north.
Sorry I took so long to chime in… but sniff no one sniff remembered I was there. :sadsmile:
Thank you to HR for leading the field-- you’re an awesome leader.
Whicker, your hospitality is exceptional. Thank you so much.
JSwan, hope to see you Sunday at the Casanova Hunter Pace. I think your new horse is just too big for you, and you should just drop him off at my place.
Hinderella, I wish we had a pic together! The matching jacket & chestnut horse combo we were sporting was awesome!
To all you other Coth’ers I met…You ROCK!
My niece informed me that she had chosen his barn name.
Big Daddy. :lol:
JSwan, Would love to see a picture of “Big Daddy”!
Whicker, when will Ruby be out hunting again? She did so well, you could have two hunt mounts!
The voices and faces on those Basetts!!!
loved those pix! those bassets are just too cute!
Great times and miss you all already!
Sorry, Timely Impulse!! How soon they forget …
I’ll be at Casanova Sunday! See ya’ll there. Taking Danica, a lurker to this chat (attack helicopter pilot at Quantico/adorable Arab-QH cross who indeed looks likely to make it as a field hunter.) So ya’ll act nice around the new newbie.
: o )
Timely Impulse don’t worry, you’re not forgotten! Although I do admit to sometimes mixing up some of the screen names/real life names…a little bit of name dyslexia 
I have to get my pics up onto photobucket or something…I’m not very good at that, and I’m afraid Mr. Hinderella, for some reason, insisted on taking pictures of me and not of other people! He also had the camera set to video a couple of times, which would have been great if he had realized it and gotten video, but instead I got 10 second movies and I have to see if I can convert them to stills. But I will definitely check to see if there may be a pic of our matching coats & horses. If it hadn’t been my first time out, I’m sure I would have made a point of stopping and posing for the “separated at birth” photo, but mu head was spinning.
Finally, I THINK I have pics up!
SO I got kicked out of photobucket for giving an obviously incorrect birthdate (I hate that they want all this personal info) but I think I’ve made it onto webshots.
I’m afraid we ended up with very few photos, but the ones we have can be seen here:

- The hunt assembling, before the arrival of the hounds.
- The little girl who told Hunter’s rest “you took us the wrong way” can be seen at right.
- Hounds
4, 5 and 6. More of the hounds and other ODH hunt members - Our third flight!!! At the left is an ODH member, at rear is Whicker on the dressage goddess Ruby, on the grey is Hunters Rest, then the three chestnuts are Timely Impulse, JSwan and Hinderella, followed by a young rider, then PleasantMeadowFarm on another grey, and the young rider’s grandfather at right. You can’t see it, but Timely Impulse & I had matching jackets!
- Hinderella…looking a little nervous here, but it was all good!
- Whicker & PMF…from behind, but I’m protecting your privacy!
Wish I had better photos, but the memories are bright & clear and will stay with me forever!
