The Foxhound (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Foxhound Foxhunting is not only a reaction and amusement, but the science of an art in which but few obtain proficiency. It is one of the few sports that is not more or less tainted with professionalism. My experiences in the field and saddle during a quarter of a century of breeding and hunting hounds are given herein, and I trust may prove of benefit to the rapidly increasing devotees of a sport that eminently encourages companionable qualities in man, is conducive to good health, and is frequently the means of cementing lifelong friendships. This book is written more for the benefit of the country gentlemen of moderate means who 11 "rides to hunt" than for the fashionable anglomaniac with money who "hunts to ride" and thinks foxhunting a most fascinating and enviable pursuit in the abstract.
