Course Was Born
The Old Dominion Hunt had a classic stroke of luck when in 1976 William W. Brainard, then the MFH, while hunting over the Eastham’s Ben Venue farm, saw in a flash of perception an almost perfect point-topoint course on the pastures north of U. S. Route 211. He became so enthused that he and David L. Ferguson, chairman of the Old Dominion Race Committee, decided to go to Louise and Tommy (who are among the biggest and most supportive landowners in Old Dominion’s hunt territory) with the exciting concept.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Eastham, having grown up in the tra'dition of Virginia horse sports and both wanting to preserve the rural pursuits of Rappahannock County, agreed on the spot to let the hunt build a race course on the land, land that had been in Louise King Eastham’s family since 1805.
