                                     Reserved for Association members, Slothwell Farm  echoes the baroque grandeur of Castle Howard in Yorkshire as well as

                                      the French rococo elegance of  The Association's headquarters in Paris.

                                                                                                Fox hunting is no longer legal in Britain

It is, of course, still perfectly legal to put on the pretty red jackets and go madly galloping across the countryside on horses, blowing horns.

And, of course, it's still perfectly legal to bring your pack of dogs along for the exercise.

It only makes sense, in order to keep everybody on course, to lay out a trail for the dogs to follow.  The horses then follow the dogs.

And if the dogs happen to start a fox and chase it, well, that's just natural, too, now, isn't it?

Of course, one mustn't allow them to kill it.

It's still legal to kill the fox with guns, though.

But, as I said, Fox Hunting has been banned in Britain.
