A snowstorm changed the night, but didn't dampen the spirits. We are *so* grateful to our generous landowners for the great privilege of riding on their land ... without that we wouldn't have a hunt. Sue & Ann recognized our landowners with a small token of our appreciation, and they also gave thank you gifts to our ground crew and Field Secretary, Whips, and others who do a great deal of work behind the scenes. Thank you Jen & Tom Mulstay for hosting the party.

Thank you North Country Hounds for joining us for our Joint Meet at Prodigue Farm!

Rain and wind, but not too cold -- one of those hunts you won't soon forget if you were brave enough to be out there. Thank you Green Mountain Hounds for joining us! Welcome new foxhunters Marti Laramee & Laurie (our die-hard cappers!)

Thank you Linda Bennett for leading us on a great outing at the beach! It was blustery at the beach, but a beautiful day and a wonderful outing. We salute our U.S. veterans and servicemen by kicking off a collection for our troops through Pease Greeters (www.peasegreeters.org).

great, great hunt from the kennels. of course the trails look much different with all the leaves down so finding the river crossing on the hack back took some doing.

Perfect Fall day for wonderful hunt from Yorkfield again. Thank you Balan for jumping in as trusty steed for our huntsman after Hannah's incident. Glad to have so many riders from Yorkfield Stables as well ... great to have Karen & Jay, and of course Jess, join us.

Thank you Myopia for once again hosting a wonderful All New England joint meet for MFHA clubs! Wentworth had more than a dozen riders join the 100+ rider field.

Newfie leads the pack for hound exercise today :-)

The rain held off for a wonderful meet. All of our new junior foxhunters did great! We had 12 junior guests that were new to foxhunting. They and their horses all did great! Some rode First Field and some enjoyed the slower pace of Hilltop Field. We had nice, long outing. Thank you Junior Guests of Honor!

Thank you Myopia for joining us! We had a great day. Good weather ... good sport ... good food ... good company.

great to be back hunting again ... hot, hot day, but great first outing, more to come

Perfect day for a large field of teams competing in our annual Hunter Pace to raise funds for Conservation. We had 24 teams, 56 riders at Fine Nest Farm in Raymond. Ribbons were awarded to the top six teams in Field and Hilltop Divisions. This year we will be donating money to Bear-Paw Regional Greenways, Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire, and Moose Mountain Regional Greenways. One of the goals of this pace is to raise awareness and funds for conservation in our area ... without the open space and our generous landowners, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to ride in so many lovely territories. Thank you to all for supporting this pace! Jess Kennedy's team won the Field Division & Sandy Engelsman's team won the Hilltop.

The first hunter pace of the season was held at Branch Hill Farm, Milton Mills. Great weather, great turnout. Thank you riders!

We were very happy to be invited to make a presentation at the first annual Myhre Equine Fair / Kentucky Derby Day. Ann Wicander, MFH, made a presentation about drag hunting, she is flanked here by honorary member and staff member Krista Trefethen, Walker Greenwell, and Cindy Jenkins.

Our annual dressage school show, at UNH, was held the last Sunday of April.

Cindy Jenkins and Walker Greenwell gave a talk to the pony clubbers at the UNH Light Horse Classroom, including hunt rules and etiquette, landowners, hounds, attire and purpose for it, terminology, hunting and organization of a hunt, kennels, drag vs. live hunting ... They included a game and crossword puzzle. "Moneypenny" and "Fanfare" settled right in for their afternoon with the Squamscott Pony Club. They were perfect riding in the car and as ambassadors for the Hunt. "Fanfare" came with her trophies from the New England Hound Show. She behaved like a star. Some of the pictures show her looking very intent........well, she is watching the tv and listening to the hounds in the Chronicle show. She even cried out at one point to join in with the tv pack. We all were mesmerized by her intent viewing. The pony club group was attentive, interactive, enthusiastic and fun. They made it a great day for us.

Congratulations Sue Levy, Krista Trefethen & Cody Cramer for taking 1st Place in the Team Competition. Sue also took the blue ribbon in the Senior Qualified Division, amidst stiff competition, and Krista took a fifth place ribbon in the large Open Division. Cindy Jenkins' granddaughter Marley competed in the new Novice Division. Thank you to all Wentworth Members and Friends who came to compete, to fence judge, and to cheer on our jumpers! Fence judges included: Liz Esmiol, Walker Greenwell, Pooh Vanderzanden. Thank you Julie Krupa, Terry Monks, and Linda Saba for coming up to cheer us on. Sue Decker and John from Spectrum Photography should have photos of the trials available soon.
