And I found out that the woman renting the stables on the grounds here is someone I know, so I'm looking forward to a barn tour before I leave.
I wandered down to the hunt room this morning and thought I'd post another couple of photos:
This is the same hunt my daughter has ridden with over the past few years. I have stood and watched riders and hounds leave the fixtures and except for the newer style helmets, the scene could have been any year since 1914. The 100-year anniversary of the Moore County Hunt Club last year was quite an accomplishment.
I'm here until Monday and then I will be home again, just in time for the sun to come back out and hopefully I can get right back to riding the Big Bay.
Good for you writing so much!
ReplyDeleteThe hunt really is historical. No wonder they have a room dedicated to the people who lived there.
Have a nice tour of the stables. Pictures would be nice too. I'm sure they're very interesting if they've kept them original. I love old barns.
It's the original stables where the Boyds kept their horses - very very neat old barn. :)
