Thanksgiving Hunt!

It's a tradition by us for the Hunt clubs to head out every Thanksgiving for the Holiday Fox Hunt. We have horses everywhere in my part of New Jersey and of course we are no exception with our own horse Kieran.  My daughter has participated in a few hunts but thank goodness no Fox was ever  harmed in the process.  Although I don't wish any animal to be hunted, there is something nostalgic and historic about the tradition. It always reminds me of Autumn and Holiday time, especially when you drive through Far Hills and see the packs of hounds and horses in pursuit of a prize. You feel like you have been transported back in time.  A home can definitely be influenced at Thanksgiving by the English style and qualities that are "The Hunt".  Here are some of my favorite finds from Pinterest. I wish everyone has a safe pre-Thanksgiving  prep day as I see the snow coming down from my window. Cheers!

Finally, this image reminds of my daughter and the age that she started riding! It truly brings to mind the meaning of  "Thanks" to have my wonderful children who are now adults and approaching adulthood  all healthy, happy  and safe!
