Hunting

In the 1990s, the Chronicle was there for the highlights, such as two Olympic Games and three World Equestrian Games, as well as the lows like the horse insurance killings involving Barney Ward, George Lindemann, Paul Valliere and several others.
For better or worse, during the 1980s, the culture of the horse world entered the modern world, becoming more specialized and more of a business, and less bound by tradition.
Plenty of major changes swept through the equestrian community during the 1970s. In international competition, the U.S. Equestrian Team was a major international force, with show jumping, dressage and eventing squads sweeping the 1975 Pan American Games (Mexico City) gold medals, and all three teams earning medals over the course of the Olympic Games in Munich (1972) and Montreal (1976).
The decade of the 1960s was a golden era for horse sports and for the Chronicle. The ‘60s saw glamorous hunter stars like Cold Climate, Cap And Gown, and Isgilde become famous. The U.S. Equestrian Team sent jumper stars like Frank Chapot, Bill Steinkraus, Kathy Kusner and Hugh Wiley overseas to compete, and they won on the biggest stages like Aachen.

A young hunt impresses the judges with long runs.

An invitation to judge the Western Hunt Challenge Tour, a festival of hunting and travel held from March 20 to April 5, and learn how hunting is conducted in the Western states was too good an opportunity to miss. In the course of 17 days, we hunted with nine hunts and covered more than 2,000 miles.

Hounds Return To Rolling Plains

On Dec. 15, huntsman Ivan Dowling and whippers-in Niall Molloy and Paddy Neilson brought hounds to Webb’s Woods on a rather cold morning with a storm in the forecast. This day, from the kennels, a year ago, was an outstanding day; today was an even better one.
