"Hounds Hard And Horses Healthy" (1930)

Full title reads: "Melton Mowbray. 'Hounds hard & Horses healthy' Once more the countryside echoes to the sound of the huntsman and his horn (Opening meet of the (T/C obscures) Hunt)."



Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.



Shots of fox hunters on their horses with their fox hounds. Various shots of the dogs and hunters. A small crowd have come out to watch the hunt. Nice close shots of the fox hounds.



N.B. Presumably as this is Melton Mowbray this is probably the Quorn Hunt.
