In case you did not hear, last year's revival of the Rockbridge Hunt endurance ride was a resounding success. The trails were well-marked, the food was great, and the riders were impressed by the lovely wooded trails through our beautiful hunt country. So if you missed last year, make sure to put us on your calendar. For the rest of you, the Rockbridge Hunt looks forward to seeing you again.
