The Royal Artillery Hunt relay confirmed its place at the top of the list this year with an even bigger and bolder course.

The North Cotswold Hunt won the day with some breath taking speed and agility over the 8 cross country style jumps.

They pipped The Wilton to the post, winning by 10 seconds on corrected time, and with two fewer fences knocked down.

Chef D’equipe and team captain Kate Mather was joined by James Dandy, Tabitha Rogers and Sarah Hall.  (see Picture suggestion 8 below).

Twenty eight teams entered the fray, with many using the beefy course to practice for the Windsor Horse Show.

This year also saw the introduction of a Junior contest, for those aged 14 to 21.

This was won by Banwell Hunt Pony Club, beating Wilton Hunt Pony Club by 6 seconds.

Winners of the Best Turned Out competition were the Leaping Ladies sidesaddle team.

The two major sponsors of the event were the London based Honourable Artillery Company Saddle Club and Harness International LLP of Devizes.

Clever course design by John Hoare provided a bullfinch for the senior seeding round, but removed the bullfinch element to make it a brush fence for the junior competition, as well as a challenging hanging log over water.

Great Pictures from John Eccles are:-

    Closing Meet Breakfast

    Please be aware that there will be no "meet" this coming Saturday (14th) for the Closing Meet - instead we will be holding an informal and delicious breakfast (complete with fizzy cocktails) from 9.30am-10.45am. Mounted followers should be onboard for 11am, when hounds will then be promptly moving off.

    This breakfast is open to all Subscribers, Supporters and Friends of the RA Hunt so please come along and support! We will also be making a presentation to our Kennelman, who sadly leaves us at the end of this season.

    DM us to book a ticket, then bring £10 on the day in exchange for delicious morsels!
