A WINTER INVITATION
Beneath the drifts of gleaming snow
The lesser prey, the foxes know,
Are hunkered down to wait the thaw.
The only tracks, a foxhound paw.

But mostly hounds remain abed,
Their kennels warm, and all are fed.
Old Chatham rests and dreams of June-
Our time to Road can’t come too soon.

Our Huntsman braves these winter days
By coaxing hounds with clever ways
To stretch and yawn in winter's sun.
Please join her, folks, for winter fun!

HOUND WALKING DAILY, 10:00 AM
THURSDAY AFTERNOON WALKS AT 4:00 PM

Text the Huntsman to confirm. She welcomes the company - and so do the hounds!

Each year the Old Chatham Foxhound Members gather for a closing breakfast in early December. It’s always a lively event with tales of the seasons most memorable moments. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the community that we’ve built together and that includes the amazing hounds and horses that make it possible. This year we awarded a variety of awards includ our inaugural Best Horse award. Blondie did not attend the breakfast so Ted presented her special cooler at home today. What a horse!

This past weekend, twenty-three foxhound members awoke long before dawn to make the journey to North Salem for a joint meet with Goldens Bridge Hounds. Our six couple of foxhounds joined the GB hounds for an exciting day at a beautiful fixture. Thank you to our hosts for such hospitality and camaraderie, staff (mounted and in vehicles), the spectacular hounds and our trusty horses for a wonderful day! We did not get a photo of the whole group but here’s a few headed to breakfast in style.

A huge thank you to Lauren Zimmer of Crowned Queen Acres who donated a Magna Wave therapy session to the OCHC Hunter Pace raffle. Lucky winner, retired hunt horse Butters, says it really helps with his headshaking and lower back arthritis. Not only does Lauren offer Magna Wave therapy, but she also has hunt horses for lease and sale. https://www.crownedqueenacres.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawORdiNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFwM0dLUW5BbHpBT1dGOTNxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHnkuLWOPtval-pYG80SuiiUleKbTSggxyCLiJF_TAum9uPU_OPl91xnjXyId_aem_WjBRf0XR8jSKUe_V9ycF1Q&brid=XrOJI9GI6TdOTXFHjKmbIw
