I had always thought that fox hunting was more-or-less a European sport, but then I found this passage in an obituary last week at Philly.com:
Mrs. Karas, whose great-grandparents were fox hunters in Chester County, began hunting in junior high school. She rode with the West Chester and West Bradford hunt clubs and for many years was field master in charge of the riders. She played the French horn in high school and later learned to play the hunting horn.
A bold rider who would go down bush banks with the fox hounds, she rode in hunts that stretched over 10 miles years ago. Much of the open country had become housing developments, she lamented in 2007.
She told a reporter in 2007: “I don’t understand people who get bored. There are so many exciting things to do.”
It sounds like that she was an inspiration – to many.
