I'm Rachael, 27 and grew up on a beef farm. I used to go rabbiting with my dad when I was small but once I got into horses they were really all I was interested in until I reached my 20's. I've always hunted though with my mum, I follow the local Foxhound pack and sometimes go out with Beagles and Minkhounds. I have a daughter who is 7 and 3 running dogs, Griff a lurcher and Paris and Phoenix my greyhounds. I do a bit of pottering around with Griff but nothing too serious really. I hope to do more with him at some point though. Paris is a retired racer and I only found out recently through this site that she was quite handy where she raced. Phoenix has never raced as he doesn't chase and he came to me a year ago.

 

My daughter and I last summer at a Girls Aloud concert, I took her for her birthday and don't plan on it again! Not unless she decides she wants to go and see Kings of Leon or Stereophonics or something... :laugh:

Guest foxyjo.

I'm Emma, and I'm 31, :cry: sob sob!! I live in Devon with my 2 boys, (Foxcub on here, who's nearly 12 and the little kit, who's first birthday is a week today). I have been foxhunting since I was about 14, and never stopped since. I just have one old horse now, Jo, who I've had since he was a yearling and I was 12. I have 3 dogs, a GSD and a terrier who are keen ratters, and my first lurcher, a 12 month old 3/4 whippet 1/4 bedlington, who I'm just starting now. I have 2 ferrets as well.

I used to be Stud Groom to a pack of foxhounds, which I loved and miss, but the little kit ended that little era last year!! Now I do all sorts to try and keep afloat, book keeping, secretarial work, writing brochures and portfolios for various little business' and dog grooming. I also work in a club. I'm also knackered!! :whistling::D

I love foxhunting most, on a horse or with the terrierlads, but also love shooting, rough and clays. Go mink hunting occasionally, and sea fishing once in a blue moon.
