As many of you already know, this is Robert’s 30th season hunting hounds at Goshen.  We are planning a celebratory season for him with lots of special “Cheers to Thirty Years” events that we are now hard at work on. One of the highlights of the season will be a weeklong southern hunting road trip, Robert’s Irish Yoga Tour, in January. We are in the process of securing stabling for horses and accommodations for people for this. Our plan is 1-2 nights in Southern Pines with the remainder of the trip based in Aiken.
