Hunting with the Brays

Bray hunt

Horses, hounds, hyper, hot ports, no foxes

Masters, Whips, Huntsmen, riders, nervous, ready to go

Wide green fields, let them go

Ditches, fences, cross poles, stone walls, some falls

Yelling, bleating, blowing, cantering

Gates opening, closing, lush farmland, careful, hoof marks

“Oh my god, we going down there”?

Swearing, sweating, splashing

“That wasn’t too bad, thank god we’re back”

Hosing down. Winding down – in the Powerscourt Arms
