With the Hares and Hounds

But for his dress, the rider in picture left could well be negotiating the steep, stark wall of a "Dry Gulch" or a "Dead Man's Canyon" in a typical "horse opera". These "on location" pictures, however, were taken right here on the Gisborne flats and horse and rider are. shown picking their way down the side of the Tietjen diversion cut on the Waipaoa River.

This is certainly not typical hunt country, but when "Photo News" followed up one of the Hunt Club's recent hunts, it found all riders having to negotiate this treacherous path in full chase of the ever elusive hare.
