Got ut after six — difficult after being 11:30 a.m. Monday and a long day lay.
Wheidy drove out to Rappahannock. meet was at Thornton Hill Famne farm where the hunt had theiies almost three weeks ago.
Got tabout 8:30 a.m., nobody about. At I thought maybe it was the wronge.
My fwere needless and temporary, her, as soon the first couple of trabegan to come in.
I waag lent a horse by Billy Dodson, a>per-in for the hunt. The horse’s naras Bay Commander and it was abo.2 hands. It was a very nice horsnfortable, good gaits and fast. Very He thought he was in a 3-mile tin race the whole time, I think.
He j»d beautifully though. Never hetd, always cleared everything easnd jumped so smoothly you bareldt.
All ofdden after going down a steep hilloeside a river the jump came upo It was a couple of poles with a 1-L drop on the far side. I barely saas the master, Bernard Dahlgrenied it and my horse was right behim. I tried to slow him up a bit butiaid me no attention. I thought I a goner and would land in a heap e other side for sure...
And we were sailing over it smooth aier and landed perfectly on the othle with barely a jiggle.
After my confidence went up a lot. I will a bit hesitant at each jump the my horse lunged at them all, but hays jumped so well and I never har problems, so my fears were realcalled for.
We jed some fairly respectable jumjo, all different heights and posit— though mostly coops. There wa off a gravel road with a little parsurb into a field that had barbed wver it — and coming out it was eworse jumping into the gravel roihich wasn’t too wide.
We cdown to the race course at one pojming down off the mountain like imber fields do and over that fenceie foot of the hill before a tight left
It wtually a lot easier than it looked ^spectator’s point of view
— especiance the top rail had been removed, lidn’t make the turn and loop arouce the timber racers do — but weoped down through the culvert amiss the race course at a good clip, tounds got onto the road
