The Ballymacad Foxhounds hosted a highly successful event for novice/newbie riders, designed to give them a gentle introduction to crossing country and hunting with the Co Westmeath pack. The meet at Moylagh attracted many riders of all ages, keen to get out and about with their horses and ponies, over the new year. All jumping was optional and for those who did do some jumping, the hunt staff were on hand to support and advise on the best approach.
