Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America

If you ask Ellie Craig, 7, what her favorite memory from the hunt field is, she’ll tell you: “My first hunt with my mom. We went on Christmas Eve and I didn’t want to stop!” Her mother, Michelle, remembers that day well. “It was brutally cold,” she recalls. “So, after ninety minutes, we were close to the trailers and I said we had to go in. We were both freezing but she cried. She didn’t want to go in.” For Ellie’s brother Carter, 9, it’s always been about the hounds. “My favorite part is watching and listening to the hounds,” he says. “I like to hear their voices.” For him, there’s nothing like the moment when the trailer gate drops and the hounds run out, straight to him, and shower him with kisses.

"People always come up to ask about him and take a photo because he’s the ‘prettiest.’ He absolutely is a performer and knows that he’s on display.” Get to know Megan Harris's Connemara stallion, *TBS Declan Pondi. He may not be the tallest horse in the field, but he certainly has quite the fan club. Fade to Grey Farm: Eventing, Foxhunting, & Connemaras
