New Year’s Day at Gotten Leaze
Support for the Isle of Wight
Hunt is always overwhelming
on January 1st, which this year
marked the 10th anniversary
of the meet Gotten Leaze,
Calbourne.
Originally the idea of former
huntsman and master Richard
Standing, who wanted to hunt
his hounds on the final day of
the last century and the first
day of the new one, the Isle of
Wight Hunt has met at Gotten
Leaze on New Year’s Day ever
since. Thanks to the generous
hospitality of Mr & Mrs David
Biles and their son Sam and
his family, who now live at the
farm, a wide cross-section of
the community both mounted
and on foot was able to enjoy
what is fast becoming an Isle
of Wight tradition.
