Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday’s!
The holiday’s are such a wonderful time of the year,
and its such a pleasure to spend those days with our River
Hills Family out in the hunting field. As a reminder, November
30th through December 13th we will not being hunting due
to the ‘rifle’ deer hunting season. After that the River Hills
Foxhounds will be back in action! Another reminder as you’re
out hunting be aware of the new guys; Ivan, Indy, Iceman,
Isaac, and the little girl Izzy. The puppies are usually marked
with a red or blue, reflector collar. If puppies come near your
horse please use your voice, and say ‘Ware Horse’ and/or let
your whip dangle to the ground so they know to steer clear
of horses legs. An update on the October 17th puppies,
Jacob, Jessie, Joaquin, Journey and Jewels, they are happy,
healthy, finally mobile and running around the kennel yard.
As many of you know River Hills prepares Christmas
‘Thank You’ Bags for the landowners as a special thanks for
their support and generosity in letting us hunt across their
land. It is so easy to take for granite the open places that we
hunt and it is sometime easy to forget the hard work that it
takes to keep hunting ground open. Around the Holidays we
will be going around to meet with landowners again, express
our many thanks, and drop off fruit bags; graciously provided
with a beautiful fox hunting scene by Mrs. Helen Stapleton,
and we will prepare the bags by filling them with oranges,
grapefruits, clementines, and topped off with a bag of chips
generously donated by Herr Foods. Apart from membership
subscriptions, donations from the ‘Christmas Cap’ help to
support our Christmas ’Thank You’ Bags.
It is our duty as fox hunters to ensure we keep open
relationships for hunting spaces for future generations. New
puppies ensure the River Hills Foxhounds brings new blood
and new faces, new members, along with bringing young
children help to educate more people about fox hunting
and the traditions of our sport. Again we cannot help but
stress that it is your financial support that help to keep the
River Hills Foxhounds flourishing in the winter months as we
head into 2010.

River Hills Foxhounds ‘Christmas Cap’ It is at this time of year that we ask our members to help us out with a donation in the form of a ‘Christmas Cap’. The hound stalls are bedded up with hay, the heat lamps are on during those extra chilly nights, the warm milk from our local Amish neighbors is picked up daily, and the hounds rest up to make ready for the days hunt. Special care of the hounds make certain that they are fit and healthy in these next few months as they head out to find us the wily little fox we so readily wait to catch a glimpse of. In preparation we ask your support in the form of the ’ Christmas Cap’ to help us out the winter months ahead. Your ‘Christmas Cap’ goes to help support the River Hills Foxhounds and assist the generosity and good will of our landowners with the aid in cutting the costs of the Christmas ‘Thank You’ Bags. We have greatly appreciated everyone’s support in the past in helping to make our ‘Thank You’ Bags such a great success! |
