Fox Hunting In 2010

Hey Silverhorners! Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain! Things were happening here today, it's the annual Silverhorn Fox Hunt! An exciting day on the mountain for those who partake in the sport, not so good for those who don't many of whom stay inside on this day, with their heads down, waiting for it to be over.

Now before you say it, I know what you are thinking, "fox hunting is barbaric," and it was even banned in England, so that now foxes roam free and relaxed through the English countryside, dining with impunity on the farmers chicken, eggs and occasionally veal, while the hunters and farmers are left to stand by and watch....gone are those exciting royal days when hunky hunters and sexy huntresses in the traditional fox hunt riding garb of red coats white tight pants, black riding helmets and big boots rode beautiful big hunting stallions roughshod over the farms, fields and thru the "wood" chasing the wily fox behind a pack of ravenous howling hunting hounds in a day of fun filled thrills that usually ended in a big party back at the castle, often with some maidens from a nearby village along for the party, where everyone except perhaps the fox celebrated the day afield....Nope that's not what it's all about anymore....today fox hunting has taken on a whole new meaning.....
