FOR any hunting enthusiasts the summer can drag on somewhat, but thankfully hound shows and puppy shows help to fill the void. One show which everyone should experience at least once is the Festival of Hunting in Peterborough, UK.

The show is all run over the course of a day, with the gates opening at 7:30 in the morning. The day is filled with foxhound, harrier, beagle, blood hound and basset showing, as well as equestrian classes and, of course, an array of stands and shops.
