A BALLYMACAD Foxhounds follower mentioned to me once that their hunt motto is, ‘A day you are not hunting, is a day wasted’ and to make that a reality, they have a huntsman in Kevin Donohue who is at the top of his game.

The Ballymacad Foxhounds were founded 223 years ago. They hunt a relatively unspoiled hunt country, mostly devoid of motorways or high-intensity development.
