Beautiful video - I am so glad to say I have been fox hunting in Britain! Makes it all worthwhile and I feel very happy and love the traditional aspect of it! This shows how timeless hunting is - wonderful!

Some people were commenting about the riders' seats... the horses look gaited to me, so the way they're sitting farther back is probably the same idea as in modern Saddleseat. Really cool video by the way. :)

That's fantastic. Always keep that, that's something really special!

It's the Amor Haskell Estate.

That was great! I only wish it were longer!

Looks like the fox hunt is in Navesink. It has been going on over there for years. At least I remember it was in the 1980"s and 90's when I lived there. It was great fun to pile your friends in a car and take part in the festivities.

Great to see how little has changed over the years! Thanks for posting :)

@beagleman123456789 Thanks. Can you tell me anything more about it? Do you recognize the town they go through first? How can you tell it's Monmouth County? Is that the group, the Monmouth County Hunt?

Is that downtown Navesink in the beginning? (circa 1920s)

Wow, I gotta say, purely for the evocative, dreamlike footage, this is a fabulous video. I'm not saying I want to kill foxes, just that this footage is amazing to me... thanks for posting...

Thank you. That is the nicest thing anyone has said about all these movies shot by my grandparents. I have been impressed by them too. I am glad others see their value.
Cheers,

Thank you for posting this. My husband and I are historical reenactors and we're learning to fox hunt. It's fascinating to see the differences and the similarities of fox hunts years ago. What nikkiportia says about "hunting seat" is right. It's so cool to see that difference in action.
Thanks again,

Thank you. I'm glad that people can find things in them that are useful. I still can't see any difference in how they sit but I'm not a rider...
