The hunt with Thornton Hill Hounds was fantastic. It was a perfect start to the exchange. I got a gray 17 hand mare named Kiara. She was amazing. I didn't even need my reins, ha ha. The country was really hilly and rocky which is a big difference from flat sandy South Carolina. We got to jump a lot, mainly coops and a couple log fences. All four of the Irish were out, there was one girl from England, and there was me. The other girls went out with Blue Ridge. It might have been Old Dominion though. I'll ask how their hunt went later. The Irish were hilarious and bold riders just like I had expected. The English girl was really sweet and pleasant. I think we all kind of fit our stereo types so that is funny.

The country is the second largest in Virginia, situated in Rappahannock County, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, consisting of rolling pastures, open valleys, wooded mountainsides, with rail fences, panels and coops, and some old stone walls.
Go Irish!
