Let's go hacking!

This spring and summer have been great for hacking in my neighborhood, just south of Middleburg, because, Spring lasted forever, so summer started late! We have had plenty of rain to keep things green, and although the ground is getting a bit hard, and the bugs can be brutal for Thoroughbreds, especially, we only get a couple super hot days per week. 
My friends have trailered in to ride out with me and my clients in small groups, weekly. The rides have been really good for foxhunters in training and green horses to settle in a small group(5-8), going slow. I have found that many small to medium-sized slow group rides, really takes the stress out of hacking for inexperienced horses AND riders. Then, when the opportunity for a hunt-sponsored ride comes up, hacking at the trot and getting left behind in a group of 40 is not such a big deal.
