This picture says it all, go Becca!
I really don’t even know where to start. I had planned on Blogging, Instagramming and Facebooking all weekend, but once we were swept up in the whirlwind, I barely had time to look at my phone. I have to say; it’s been a long time since I allowed myself the luxury to really be in the moment and experience everything with raw joy! I did manage to try to take some videos on race day, but I didn’t want to miss anything so I mostly I took videos of the grass……Anyway, There are so many crazy things that went on I think we need to start at the end which would be race day. I’ll post later about everything in between!

Our friend Amy Wodaski had a fall out Hunting with the Cheshire on Saturday and had to scratch. You were missed, Amy!
Thank you, Susan Oakes our winner for wearing your head cam, so we could come along with you. It was a pleasure to hang out with you and your gang!
Nerves of steel!
After the race was over Chasing a Fox was honored to present Susan with the winning cooler that we had custom made for the occasion.
Look at that ribbon!
This is Amy Magee, who won best turnout.
It was really fun that I got to be one of the Judges, all the ladies looked lovely, but there could only be one winner!
When things quieted down, we were invited back to the Cheshire Stables to take some pictures of the spectacular winning horse with his new cooler on. This horse is the marvelous Irish-bred horse “Fort Henry”, who previously competed in the Maryland Hunt Cup before becoming a staff horse to Stephanie Boyer and Ivan Dowling at the Cheshire Hunt, What horse!
The photos (and the video on fb) are amazing….thank you so much!
What a thrill to be introduced to these intrepid ladies and to be able to share in the lead up to the race and to see the results. Breathtaking! Thank you ladies and Sissi.
What a fantastic horse and rider combination are the race winners and super side saddle riding by all.
Lovely clear footage too from the headcam.
See also the Dianas of the Chase side saddle race on Facebook from Nov 2015 race in Quorn Hunt country, Leicestershire, England. Some headcam footage and stills. Fearless riders one and all!
Thanks for sharing this – Dee
