EQUESTRIAN Big following for the IW Foxhound meets T he IW Foxhounds enjoyed two successful festive hunts. There were over 40 mounted followers and approximately 350-foot supporters on Boxing Day. The President awarded best turned out, under 16, to Chloe Beckley, and it was special for Secretary Eve Ablitt, who was mounted, as it marked 60 years since she first hunted. New Year’s Day was one of two meets during the season when there is a joint meet with the Isle of Wight Foot Beagles, and it was good to see so many supporters both mounted and on foot. Some beautiful country was covered and it proved a fantastic start to 2015. Pictures by John Found www.visitilife.com 65
