Foxhunting in a wet and wonderful Ireland

Despite record rains and flooding in Ireland, seven students and two faculty members spent their Thanksgiving Break foxhunting in the Emerald Isle. It was messy but marvelous, according to the group. Here’s an abridged version of the daily reports sent by Directory of Technology Merrilyn Blue.

Foxcroft's riders collected three firsts and four seconds at Madeira School Sunday en route to a second-place finish in the opening Tristate Equitation League meet of the schoolyear. Meadowbrook Stables (Chevy Chase, MD) won the competition with 49.5 points, followed by Foxcroft with 43 and Madeira (McLean, VA) with 31.5.

All three blue ribbons came in over-fences competition, with co-captain Lillibet '10 winning in the Advanced Division, Malia '10 in the Intermediate and Robyn '10 in the Novice Division. Rebecca '10 , Lily '11 and freshmen Avery and Debbie all took home seconds. For full results, click below.
