Fox hunting in this area has been taking place since the mid 1800s.\u00a0 Today it continues to be an important cultural tradition and social event.<\/p>\n

For the past ten years I\u2019ve been visiting Middleburg, once or twice a year, because my horse trainer lives there.\u00a0 I had never been fox hunting before but had dreamed of taking part.\u00a0 It was all made possible through a friend of a friend.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to have a friend, Michele from California, join me for this adventure.\u00a0 Fall is cubbing season.\u00a0 This is the beginning of fox hunting season when hounds, horses, and riders are conditioning to prepare for formal season.\u00a0 During cubbing season you wear a traditional tweed or muted wool coat, and tan or rust breeches.<\/p>\n

We were lucky to go hunting two different days.\u00a0 On our first hunt we rode second flight and on our second hunt day we rode first flight.\u00a0 First flight horses and riders travel at the quickest pace following the huntsmen and hounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was riding a borrowed grey horse named Beamer.\u00a0 He was so much fun and knew his job.\u00a0 We galloped over terrain that I hadn\u2019t even ridden in my eventing days in California.\u00a0 We jumped coops and rock walls to move into different landowner’s properties.\u00a0 At one point we rode through an old gate, under tall arching trees, into a wide open vista filled with fog.\u00a0 There was a beautiful lake below. \u00a0 It was a scene right out of Downton Abbey.\u00a0 This landscape, filled with a group of beautifully dressed riders on their horses, was simply magical.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m completely hooked and hopefully will go fox hunting again one day.\u00a0 For now I am holding on tight to some of the best memories of my life.\u00a0 Have any of you ridden in a fox hunt?\u00a0 Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
