Cheryl Bucklin-Niles, MFH  and the Piscataqua Hounds extend thanks to all those who worked so hard to make our Inaugural Blessing a huge success:

  • Janet and Jim Murfey, Landowners of Brookfield Corner Farm;

  • Rev. Sue Poulin from St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church in Sanbornville, N.H. who officiated  at the Blessing;

  • The Selectmen of the Town of Brookfield, NH for their kind permission and assistance in parading the hounds and riders through the town from the site of the Blessing to the start of the hunt;

  • The landowners of Tumbledown Dick Farm for allowing us to begin the hunt at their farm;

  • To all the landowners  and the N.H. Dept. of Fish and Game who allowed us to enjoy their properties for our four-hour hunt;

  • To our Ground Crew, who provided much need refreshments at both of our stirrup cups;

  •  And most of all, to our Hounds and our Horses who faithfully and joyfully gave us their all so that we might enjoy the beauties of nature and the wonders of the natural instincts that God has given to his creatures.
