It is rolling farm country with a signifi cant percentage of heavy woods, streams and creeks. Jumps are pre- dominantly coops with some post and rail and bar jumps.
Goshen Hounds held their traditional opening meet for the 55th year at Tusculum Farm on Saturday, November 5, 2011. The Masters sponsored a wondrous table of delectables for the arriving riders and guests at 11:00 with such treats as liver pate and other tasty delights all prepared by the wife of Jt.-MFH Mark Chall- berg. Jt.-MFH Robert Taylor brought hounds from the kennels at about 11:45 to the delight of many of the young onlookers, and guests of landowner Michelle Freeman who had arranged for pony rides and a hay wagon around the farm for the young folks to enjoy. Precisely at noon, Jt.-MFH Tom Pardoe asked the onlookers to step back so that Pastor James Pugh from St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Laytonsville could
pronounce the traditional blessing of the hounds. Just prior to that ceremony, the awarding of colors was announced. This year the Masters agreed that two young ladies who had worked very diligently to prepare our young hounds for the show season, Andi Kinder and Erin Butler, should be recognized. Also, Beth Carey, who has been a stalwart of the hunt for several years supporting many activities and bringing many of her staff and friends out to enjoy the sport, was recognized. Finally, Dr. Frank Becker was awarded colors for all of the work he has done with hounds regularly in kennels and serving as an honorary whipper-in through blizzards, hurricanes and even in splendid weather such as Saturday’s. Four great additions to the Goshen family of colors. With hounds blessed and riders recognized, it was time to move to the fi rst covert of the day. Master Taylor took his American hounds to a reliable covert in the back of Tusculum along a tree-lined creek bottom. Hounds found almost immediately and pushed Charlie from his comfortable midday nap toward the back of Waredaca. After some elusive moves in the swampy bottom at the terminus of the stream, Charlie fi nally headed to the hayfi eld between Waredaca and Tusculum where he found the comfort of an earth that he quickly occupied. With the fi rst fi eld led by Henri McCoy, Esq., there was never a doubt that those following this Field Master would be there to witness the denning! Jt.-MFH Holly Hamilton held her second fi eld on the Waredaca side of the dreaded “650 coop,” but certainly close enough to hear and see most of the action while Field Master Beth Carey brought her hilltoppers in close proximity as well. In summary, hounds had started the day with a blistering hour of running through bottom land and open fi elds to put their quarry to ground in view of not just the three fi elds, but also the large group of car followers that parked on Route 650 to share in the joy. The day continued with a second truly marvelous run from Waredaca heading north and after a lot of twists and turns winding up in the “Bird Sanctuary” be-
tween Howard Chapel Road and Route 97. That fox was given best, and hounds horses and riders retired for the day to prepare for a wonderful feast at Beth and Richard Carey’s to simply celebrate a great day of hunting with marvelous hounds and real friends.
