North Hill Hounds Hunt Report--2001
North Hills Hunt Report--2001
By Beverley C. Heffernan
Saturday, April 7 was a rest day for the horses as they and their humans traveled over two hundred miles to Burwell, Nebraska, an away country of the North Hills Hunt in the sand hills of the central part of the state.
The North Hills’ day to host the Western Hunt Challenge Tour was Sunday, April 8, and new huntsman Matthew Cook moved off from Kahlandt’s at 8 am with seven and a half couple of crossbred hounds. Despite warm weather that would climb into the 80s, hounds were no sooner put in covert than they opened and went away, providing the field with a 40 minute gallop right off the bat.
Thereafter they drew several more coverts, but without a sustained run like the first.
