Southlands Mock Hunt

Every January 1st, riders in Southlands get together and have a mock fox hunt. One person dresses up as a fox, some people dress up as hounds, one person dresses up as the hound-master, and other people either wear normal riding clothes or some people may wear fancier 'hunt' clothes. It's quite crazy as all of the horses gallop around the track and lots of horses will freak out and buck or bolt. Luckily, no one fell off today but it was still quite dangerous. It's really fun to watch though, and I got lots of photos. The objective is for one of the hounds to pull of the tail of the fox. It's attached to the fox with velcro.
