Calcutt and Sons blog

Honiton Hound Show on Thursday 4th started in fear and trepidation that it was going to pour with rain all day, however by 10.30 the sun came through and coats came off and umbrellas came down.

The local foxhound packs were well represented but several from further afield were absent because of kennel cough.

The major honours, as in previous years went to the VWH and Ian had great pleasure in presenting them with the prized Hunting Horns, just to add to the collection.

As a decision was made sometime ago to rotate the Hunting Horn Presentation, next year it will be the turn of the Beagle and Harrier Classes.

Calcutt’s Hunting Coats in scarlet and green were very much in evidence, in many cases covered in ribbons, and Ian arrived back on Friday with plenty of repairs.

The Show Season is over and now we can get on with Hunting, which has already started on Exmoor, and with Autumn Hunting in mind, we have a very good selection of mens hacking jackets from a bankrupt clearance at very reasonable prices.

We have had notification that the long awaited one way stretch breeches cloth will be available with the next fortnight, so we shall have stock by the end of the month.  White and Beige breeches at affordable prices.
