Nine Harvest View riders participate in
annual Beaufort Junior Hunt
Juniors and their chaperones were guests of the Masters at the annual Beaufort Junior
Hunt held Sunday, November 21st, in Franklintown. Nine Harvest View riders participated
in this year's hunt, and everyone had a wonderful time out. After torrential rains on
Saturday, the footing was rather sloppy, but horses and ponies negotiated their way
through the obstacles without incident. The hunt divided into two groups, a fast group and
a walk-trot group, and because it was a first-time experience for many of our horses and
riders, we chose to ride with the slower group.
The weather was unseasonably warm, and after about two hours of riding with the
hounds, the group called it a day and came back to the trailers for a lovely tailgate hosted
by the hunt members.
The Masters complimented our riders both on their riding and on their mounts' behavior in
the field, and all were invited back to hunt again this season as guests of Master McMillen.
We're happy that our group represented our stable so well and look forward to more fun in
the field.

Paper Chase participants garner coveted tailgate award!
The Harvest View crew, along with our friends from the Beaufort Hunt, among others, had a great day at the Hunt Cap Paper Chase on
Saturday, May 7th.
Hannah and Hot John won a fifth place ribbon with her partner. Cindy and Delight led Allie and Sky and Anna and Dotz on the ride. They took it
easy, and didn't get a ribbon, but they had a great time, and it was excellent experience for the girls.
Along with riding the gorgeous six-mile course, at least 50 people participated in our tailgate, which took first place honors this year. The
weather was spectacular...sunny, clear and in the 60's, and it made for a wonderful day for riding and enjoying the time outdoors.
Dave was pressed into service as a starter/timekeeper, so he got to greet each rider as they left and returned from the course. He enjoyed
seeing the event from a perspective other than sleeping under the horse van with Linus!
