I am...Are you? Even if you do not Foxhunt or even ride, the Masters of Foxhounds Association is an organization worthy of support. They work endlessly to keep land open and preserve green space. As a breathing human, I understand the need for green grass, trees and water for oxygen and survival, but often as a Realtor, I am disappointed at how quickly these basics can be over thrown to maximize profit. We need to change this way of thinking, by encouraging groups like the MFHA to preserve the beauty of the countryside.
As an animal lover i am called to support this great organization. The MFHA researches and preserves traditions of breeding and perpetuating quality hounds. The idea of drafting hounds is an honorable one and a part of what sets this group apart from other organizations that promote selling dogs. And there is no greater picture of canine beauty than the early morning mist unfurling hounds in full cry.
The MFHA needs every foxhunting, dog loving, horse loving, green space loving person to become a member, in order to secure the traditions and beauty of the field for future generations!
Do you fox hunt yourself? This is so cool, I have just never heard of this in the United States. Tell us more, I would love to hear a story and maybe even if I'm down your way go out once.
Todd, Do you ride? I grew-up foxhunting and it is amazing to watch the hounds, and to watch the fox out smart them. It is not just a day to enjoy hunting, but the outdoors and friends. There is not a hunt in Oregon as a member of the MFHA, but there is one in Washington near Tacoma: http://www.woodbrookhunt.com/
