Fox hounded on Hay nature
While most of us were plod-
ding along our plebian,
pedestrian paths Thursday,
members of the Trollope Hunt
Club were riding to hounds
through the luxuriant nature
trails of Hay Swamp.
Early arrivals at the star-
ting point north of the Exeter
waste disposal site were
rewarded with the sight of a
doe and four younger deer
slowly crossing the conces-
sion road. The little herd
stared back with wary
curiosity before disappearing
into the bush. They were in no
danger. The hounds are train-
ed to leave the trail of a deer
and return to pursuit of their

quarry, the wily fox.
The 15 -member party
assembled initially at the farm
of Harry Knip south of Exeter
to begin the day's activities.
Area participants included
Knip and his son Victor,
Arden McGill, director of the
children's residence on Huron
Street, Donna Wells and
Loretta Dickson from Lucan,
Steve Preszcator, RR 1 Ex-
eter, and guest Joan Van
Sligtenhorst, RR 1 Zurich.
Everyone was in oridinary
riding clothes. Members of
the Trollope Hunt did not
begin wearing their colours,
or scarlet coats, until their of-
ficial opening meet at Thorn -
dale three days laters.
Steve Preszcator, one of the
riders acting as whips that
morning, explained that
Thursday's outing was a "cub
hunt", giving the young
hounds training with the more
experienced dogs. The whips
keep the dogs together, and
encourage stragglers who fall
behind to rejoin the pack of
purebred English foxhounds
which are owned and trained
by Bob Trollope, Hyde Park.
In the six yearsPreszcator
has been riding with the hunt,
he recalls only two fox kills.
"Canadian foxes are a lot
more foxy than European
foxes. One of the attractions
hunting holds for me is seeing
the fox outfox the hounds,"
. Harry Knip said, adding that
the hounds rarely catch a fox.
and when they do, invariab!y
the animal is rabid.

All horses and all hounds

collaborating with a drug
company, and offering some
of his own horses that have
never been inoculated for
testing to see what level of im-
munity can be achieved.
The hunt ended three Hours
after it had begun, with an in-
formal repast cooked by the
famous Kentucky colonel,
and eaten in nature's dining
room.
The Club had fulfilled its
two main goals- maintaining
good sportsmanship and
healthy wildlife. The par-
ticipants had had an en-
joyable, invigorating ride
through the September coun-
tryside, and the fox popula-
tion of Hay Swamp remained
unchanged.
