Description
Hunting the Fox by R. G. Verney is a thought-provoking exploration of the future of fox-hunting in Britain during World War I. As the country declared war, many believed that fox-hunting would be doomed, but instead, it emerged as a vital national asset. The Expeditionary Force relied on skilled hunters to provide well-bred horses for army use, and the sport proved its resilience through the challenges of wartime. This book offers a unique perspective on the subject, drawing on the author's own experience as a member of the Fox-Hunting Club and his apprenticeship under his father, whose advice on fox-hunting was published in 1906.
