Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a lighthearted memoir of the authorâs mid-life transition into competitive fox hunting. Initially spurred by jealousy of the scarlet-coated gentlemen riding through his town, the author impulsively purchases a horse and the appropriate attire. However, the author soon discovers that finding the right horse is as difficult as learning to ride at his advanced age. After many comical misadventures, Galey the stable hand becomes his essential ally. Through Galey, the author meets the irrepressible Di, sister to his neighbor. The author soon realizes that his wifeâs support for his newfound pursuit stems from Diâs influence, and a rapid domino effect leads to the purchase of a pony-drawn cart, and riding horses for his wife, daughter, and Di. The authorâs candid and witty reminiscences capture the social and sporting eccentricities of a bygone era. Through it all, the author learns that itâs never too late to pursue oneâs dreams, and finds unexpected camaraderie amidst the hunting set.
