THE Tipperary Foxhounds welcomed hunting enthusiasts from around the country for their special ladies side saddle meet, followed by their annual hunt ball last Saturday, February 26th.

Nestled in some of the best hunting country in Tipperary, with the backdrop of the snow-capped Slievenamon mountains, Friarsgrange afforded itself as a beautiful setting for the lawn meet. Hosted by Thomas and Jeanie Ronan, who provided refreshments prior to the hunt, Friarsgrange was buzzing with excitement. Thomas and his four daughters Karine, Romy, Slaney and Maresa all rode to hounds on the day.
