Heather Kuenzi photoFoxhunting in Kansas cattle country is the "real deal" in true western foxhunting style! All 40 participants were well received by our hosts meeting at a cattle ranch each day, being greeted by local ranchers upon pulling in the driveway and getting offered a cold can of beer at the end of a long day in the saddle!
Moingona Hunt members ensured that the six hunts in attendance felt welcomed - Bridlespur, Full Cry, Mill Creek and three new attendees - Genesee Valley, Moore County and Hillsboro Hounds. Hosting a performance trial is really the ultimate joint meet. We were once again impressed with Moingona Huntsman Ken George and his skills to give the hounds plenty of hunting opportunities each day. Watching the 36 competing hounds come together and hunt as a pack, in harmony was definitely a moment that is the reason many people hunt.
