Fox Hunting and Grits….. Is there a correlation…..? …..you may well be asking…..? Probably not….. …..so….. …..why talk about grits…..(?)….. …..because the ones at the Opening Hunt Meet’s catered brunch….. …..OMG…..they were the absolute BEST I’ve EVER had….. …..I don’t know what they added to this stuff….. …..crack…..cocaine…..?….. …..I don’t know….. …..but it was addictive…..!!!

Talk about new Hunt horses, old Hunt horses, mustangs, and falls from horses, bits, and bail-outs (and I’m not talking corporate). All Hunt horses are great.  Even the…
