Excerpt from Thomas Hunting Diary, 1905-1906
Iastingly in the air, and the man who is always in a dreadful hurry and galloping generally to some point for which he thinks the fox is making. Ido not think that I am far Short of the mark when I say that the Finished Article, although he is none of these things, is composed of several of them. When hard riding first came into vogue in the hunting field, which, I believe I am correct in saying, was in the time of Mr. Hugo Meynell, Master of the Quorn, all countries were not so cut up with railways there were fewer bridges and means of crossing rivers and canals; many parts of England were not so enclosed, and barbed wire had not been invented. Consequently in those days the only requisite in getting to hounds was the ability to go quite straight, swim any river you came across, and negotiate any bottom or disused watercourse or die in the attempt (more probably your horse died instead I) But nowadays if one did not take advantage Of the improved means of negotiating all the Obstacles that modern times have brought into existence, such as bridges over rail and river, hunt gates, etc., one would stand a poor chance of seeing the end ofa run, considering the greatly increased pace at which hounds now travel.
