Photo Challenge: 14 Horses & Hounds

Here are 14 photos of our readers and their equine and canine companions.

We wanted to see photos of horses and hounds (or dogs, for all the non-foxhunters who don’t have hounds) this week, whether it was you and your dogs out on a trail ride or a full-fledged fox hunt!

As always dear readers, you delivered with some excellent photos, and I seriously love some of the beautiful fox hunting snapshots submitted! (Foxhunting has always been on my horsey “bucket list” of disciplines to try if I get the chance, and these photos make me want to give it a whirl!)
