THE IMFHA Foxhound Show on Sunday, July 1st attracted 19 packs against the spectacular backdrop of the Cosby family home at Stradbally Park. The heat didn’t stop the hunts wearing proper hunting uniform in the morning but the afternoon grew hotter thus the Stewards allowed white coats to be worn.

The unusual hot weather didn’t alter the hounds showing. Thanks to the efforts of show chairman David Lalor MFH, a canopy was erected over the collecting area allowing hounds to enter the main ring fresh and cool.
