NANTUA FARM


NFBlog - The Ups and Downs at Nantua Farm

Have you ever wondered what goes on day to day at Nantua Farm? Or just want to read a few good hilarious horse stories (because, believe me, horses provide plenty of joke material)? Maybe you'd like to find out what shows or clinics Nantua Farm is already planning on attending and you would like to tag along... Perhaps you just want to see some candid photos from around the farm. The best part, however, has to be the humor pieces. So please make sure to check out our blog and leave us a comment and/or story of your own. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Woodford Hounds

If you're looking for a foxhunting crowd to have a blast with or a new and exciting way to experience the bluegrass, Woodford Hounds is the place to go. Run by the three Masters of Foxhounds (MFH), Jane Winegardner, Sam Adams and Robert Lyons, this is the place to have fun and to truly learn how to ride the way everybody used to "in the old days." As anyone in the central Kentucky area knows, development and urban sprawl has begun to take over, so Woodford Hounds has added additional counties to Woodford County as their home hunting grounds including Mercer, Lincoln, Nelson and Garrard Counties. Be sure to join us for the Blessing of the Hounds, come cap at one of our hunts or simply come explore this stunning Kentucky landscape by horseback behind a group of amazing foxhounds. For more information, check out their website (www.thewoodfordhounds.org) to get a good idea of what foxhunting is truly all about!
