While following the West Waterford Foxhounds on foot last weekend with hunting photographer Siobhán English, fellow hunting enthusiast Tara Stockwell from Scotland was delighted to bump into one of their joint-masters, Lorna Ward.

Lorna has been based in Ireland for the past number of years but previously hunted with the Vale of Aylesbury in the UK. Tara noticed Lorna was wearing a tawny yellow collar on her hunt coat. This was the livery of the Old Berkeley Hunt. It was then Lorna and Tara discovered they had some mutual hunting contacts back home.
