Shakerag has had a busy winter season. The Thanksgiving Day hunt and dinner following had over 60 people for dinner and upwards of 40 riders. The Aden O’Connell riding clinic at the clubhouse was well attended as well as the riding, hunt clinic at Royston. Thanks to Carolyn and Tom Cadier for hosting the breakfast at Royston and putting on the clinic.

The novice hunt was a success with 37 Shakerag members turning out to help with the hunt. There were over 40 non-members hunting that day, some for the first time, and a good time was had by all. The hunters and guests had a great breakfast prepared and donated by Doug Bridges. The weather cooperated and the tally-ho wagons riders had a nice day. Thanks to Chris and Wayne Thrush and all the other volunteers that made the event sucessful.

The masters’ breakfast at the clubhouse following the New Year’s Day hunt was a success with over 130 people enjoying a delicious breakfast of traditional southern fare.

The hunt at the new Long Creek fixture was a great day. The hounds ran a grey fox for over 2 hours and the field, led by Daryl Buffenstein, did a great job helping the staff. The neighbors, from around the Long Creek fixture, roasted a pig that had been caught on the property. It was melt in your mouth good!

Thanks are due to all the members and friends of Shakerag that make these exciting events possible
