Today we all hunted with the Potomac Hunt in Maryland. Everything was so nicely organized. We all knew who we were riding and who we were staying with and when. It was actually quite a relief. I think all the exchange kids loved getting to hunt together as a whole group. I had the pleasure of riding a Belgian thoroughbred mare named Ginger. She was fantastic! Within a minute or two from the start of the hunt, the hounds struck and we viewed a big fox with a bushy tail. The hounds were practically right on it's tail, but they didn't catch it. We then viewed a second fox later but didn't purse it. I think that was because the fox was headed straight for the road or perhaps out of country. It was a very busy day and a whole lot of fun. The hounds flushed a third fox out of a thicket of bamboo. The fox ran across the field and high tailed it out of there before the hounds left the cover. I found it a rather comical sight. I had a great time today. I think it might have been the most fun hunt for me so far.
