“As a Realtor with Thomas and Talbot based in the heart of Virginia’s hunt country, I’ve always believed in supporting the communities and traditions that make this region so special. That’s why I proudly advertise in Covertside and support the Masters of Foxhounds Association. The magazine is not just a publication—it’s a celebration of the land, lifestyle, and sporting heritage that define our way of life. The MFHA plays a vital role in preserving the rural landscapes and values that matter deeply to our clients and neighbors. Whether it’s showcasing country properties or aligning with a readership that understands the importance of stewardship and sporting tradition, Covertside is the perfect partner. Supporting the MFHA through advertising is more than good business—it’s a way to give back to a community and culture that have given so much to me.” -Will Driskill, Thomas and Talbot Estate Properties

“The sense of community and the privilege to ride over countryside that is not seen from the road.”-Sue Bopp
“Foxhunting is based on a club format where members enjoy the local countryside that they normally would not have access to. The clubs include people of all ages and backgrounds. As a father of five children, I watched my own children learn about wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and develop the ability to talk to people of all ages and from all over the world. When you are on the back of a horse you are all eye to eye.”
-Mason Hardaway Lampton
