HARDSCUFFLE HOUNDS INAUGURAL BALL

Friends old and new were invited to the Hardscuffle Hounds Inaugural Ball. The event celebrated the revival of the Hardscuffle Hounds and the long held tradition of fox hunting in Kentucky. The activity dates back to colonial times when Virginia colonists adopted the practice from their British counterparts. In present day America, the people who participate in this sport enjoy ‘fox chasing’. In this renewed venture of Hardscuffle Hounds, their mission is to promote the sport of field hunting: mounted and unmounted, and to encourage others to appreciate the merit of conservation and preservation of Kentucky wildlife and its habitats.
