TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianA quick internet search will likely advise that a business partnership with a best friend might not be such a good idea, often quoting the well-known phrase that one should never mix business with pleasure. Yet dynamic duos have paved the way across endless platforms of the entrepreneurial world: from middle school friends whose shared love of food turned into the legendary ice cream brand of Ben & Jerry’s, to the pair behind one of the largest publicly traded companies worldwide, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett – even technology used every day like Google and Instagram were co-founded by friends. There are endless examples of why it can work, yet this still seems to be the road less traveled when it comes to the equestrian industry. There are countless family-run operations, but rarely do you see two friends setting out along this journey. However, that is exactly what Darragh Kenny and Hardin Towell decided to do with their business, Oakland Stables.Combining family history, passion for horses and ten years of friendship created quite the careers for Business With Your Best Friend: Why It Works for Darragh Kenny and Hardin Towell at Oakland Stablesthe 31-year-old show jumpers, Kenny of Ireland and Towell of the United States. The world-renowned athletes were lucky enough to merge their worlds into an international enterprise of elite training and high-performance sales.Business for Kenny and Towell was years in the making as the pair began buying and investing in young horses together while still pursuing their own individual careers. In 2015 their partnership developed into a company, aptly named TRK to combine their initials, that the duo ran in part with top Venezuelan show jumping athlete Andres Rodriguez. After Rodriguez passed away in a tragic accident in January of 2016, the business dissolved and Kenny and Towell both continued to buy horses together while developing their personal careers. Soon, Kenny’s business of Oakland Stables, which he established in 2012, began expanding to the point where he needed the helping hand of another professional. With Towell in the midst of a career transition from his position as the head trainer at Evergate Stables, it only made sense for the By: Barre DukesDarragh Kenny and Balou Du Reventon in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Chantilly.

TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianpair to join forces once again and make their venture ofcial at the beginning of 2018.“I think we all became very close during our TRK business and then what happened [to Andres] was very tragic, so I think it brought us even closer. Joining together in Oakland beneted both Hardin and me, and I think it makes us quite strong together,” said Kenny of their partnership. “It’s very difcult for anyone to run a business in this sport on their own. When you can nd a business partner that is as strong as you are it makes a huge difference.” At the time the pair joined forces, both athletes were ranked among the top 50 on the Longines FEI World Rankings. Towell and Kenny wanted to continue to grow their own successful careers while also providing services to up-and-coming athletes with an elite training program, as well as continuing their shared ownership of high-performance hunter and jumper horses under their Oakmont Stables LLC. The duo knew they could run their own businesses individually, but that the operation could be even stronger together.“We wanted to be able to do both sides of the ocean and do it really well. We wanted to have that for both of us and for our clients and business,” said Kenny, who spends the summer competing in Europe. Oakland’s base in Meijel, Netherlands, serves as his home throughout much of the year while Towell competes and trains for the other side of the business on the east coast of the United States. “Not many high-caliber riders work together and trust each other,” added Towell. “I think you do not see many top athletes in this industry working together because they are afraid that they’ll have their success taken away from them by their partner.” Those worries have not proven to be a factor for Towell and Kenny as the pair’s trust in one another contributes to the continuing success of their partnership. Oakland Stables ourishes from the duo’s ability to play off of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and ultimately, their friendship. “We try to weigh out the weak points in the other and make those points stronger. That’s our biggest thing – Hardin Towell and Joli Jumper in the Queen Elizabeth Cup II, Photo- Ryley Ingram-Phelps Media Group

Photo by LGCT-Stefano Grasso I know my weak points and I try to get better at them just as Darragh knows his weak points and he’s worked to get better at them,” said Towell. “It’s a lot easier to have somebody notice these things and tell you while also helping you to improve than doing it all on your own.”While Towell has benetted from Kenny’s diversity and talent in the ring, Kenny has learned from his counterpart, as well, saying, “I have always really respected how great Hardin was at communicating with people and dealing with clients. He is extremely good at that. The clients can really understand him and he gives them a lot of condence. He is great at communicating with a lot of business people. I’ve always really respected that and he’s helped me a lot with that. We work very well together.” Even when arguments do arise, both Kenny and Towell have learned to see the bigger picture and their mutual respect helps the pair through those inevitable roadblocks that any business faces. “We argue like brothers,” admits Towell. “It’s challenging, but I think it’s what makes it right because we can talk to each other completely blunt right away and say what we feel and then we go from there. One of us might not like to hear what the other has to say sometimes, but we completely feel like we can talk to each other. I know there are times where we get mad at each other, but it’s not from us not trusting each other. I know what Darragh says comes from the heart and that he wants the best for us.” Positive attitudes and open minds keep their business and their relationship moving forward. “I honestly believe that if you want to be successful and have a really good partnership, then you have to be able to say whatever you are thinking to your business partner. I think we have some ghts here and there, but it’s always for the benet of the other,” maintained Kenny.Their complementary skill sets are also an added benet when it comes to the training program at Oakland Stables. “Everyone that trains with us knows that either Darragh or I will be there,” explained Towell. “They come into it knowing that so they’re condent in both of us. Clients can keep going with one person because it’s the same program between both. We’re both very good at training, but we also explain things differently and sometimes have a different approach that might help with a certain horse or a certain student, so it’s very good to have a little bit of diversity but still be condent in both of us.”“A big goal for us is to educate young riders and continue bringing them up in the sport to help them achieve their goals. Hardin and I both really want that,” said Kenny of their training operation. “We’ve brought young kids in the low [jumpers] up to the 5* grand prix level under our guidance. We want to keep trying to do the best job we can with the people that want to be involved with us.”Although Oakland Stables places a great deal of emphasis on the success of its training program for students, Kenny and Towell must also make time to
TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianDarragh Kenny and Balou Du Reventon in the Longines Global Champions Tour of Chantilly. Photo by LGCT-Stefano Grasso grow themselves and their horses. When the focus must shift to their individual careers, the support between the two remains consistent. When Towell earned the second-place award with the pair’s newly-purchased Joli Jumper in the prestigious $500,000 ATCO Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Spruce Meadows in July 2019, he laughed that Kenny was the only person more excited than himself.“Joli [Jumper] and our other new horse, Tupac [Van De Vrombautshoeve Z], Darragh and I bought together as an expansion of our business. It was him and I, what we’ve talked about doing for ten years and what we’ve been doing for two years,” exclaimed Towell. “It’s one thing to go out and have someone buy you a lot of horses, but it’s another for us to do it ourselves. It’s quite cool and it’s something both Darragh and I are proud of.”“That result was a big thing for us as friends and a big thing for us a business. We put this investment into this horse and he is turning out to be such a superstar,” remarked Kenny. “It was late at night for me in Paris to stay up and watch Hardin go, but it’s important to both of us. I know Hardin put an awful lot of work into this horse and it’s so rewarding to see it pay off.”Kenny is no stranger to the winner’s circle as he has continued to climb the world rankings through 2019, but he is quick to credit much of his success to his well-run partnership with Towell. “I think I really have a possibility to achieve one of my own goals which is to be ranked in the top 10 in the world. Another huge goal for me is also to ride in the Olympics,” said Kenny of his hopes for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. “I wouldn’t be able to go for those goals without Hardin. There’s no chance I could do any of this without his support.” Towell stands behind Kenny and the goals of Oakland Stables completely. “I enjoy taking care of things over here and riding some of Darragh’s horses in America while he’s in Europe – he knows what I put in and how I’m behind him. Darragh and I have a lot of goals in this business – a lot of long term goals to grow the business and grow ourselves as riders. We can never stop learning. We’re not content in where we are right now – we can always improve.”The unwavering support from Towell is reciprocated by Kenny as both athletes set their long-term goals. Towell continued, “Darragh knows that I have my own goals, too. I am looking forward to the fall when I start aiming for the [Longines FEI Jumping] World Cup™qualier classes with our two horses and I will have clients that I am training at those shows, too.”Kenny and Towell eat, sleep and breathe horses, their friendship and their business, but at the end of the day the pair would not trade the all-consuming lifestyle they share. “To be able to work with one of your best friends is one of the greatest feelings. You always know that they have your best interest at heart and that’s what works really well between us,” praised Kenny. “As much as we want our business to do well, we really ght for each other to have success. I think that’s a really important thing for people to have.”Darragh Kenny and Balou Du Reventon in the €500,000 Rolex Grand Prix in Knokke Hippique. Photo by Scoopdyga - Pierre Costabadie

Farmhouse Inn is the realization of fth generation Russian River Valley farmers, vineyard owners and siblings, Catherine and Joe Bartolomeis’ dream. The dream was to bring an authentic wine country experience to guests of Farmhouse by combining insiders’ wine country knowledge and relationships and warm, professional hospitality with their locally grown, simply prepared food, ne wine, farm-to-table spa and luxurious accommodations Farmhouse guests arrive strangers and leave friends.Following the purchase of the property in 2001, the Bartolomeis began a complete and ongoing renovation of the guest rooms, restaurant, grounds and spa, which transformed the Farmhouse into a top-rated wine country property. In 2014, the Bartolomeis have just completed an $8 million expansion adding 9 new luxury guest rooms, and brand new “stable” spa, and completely upgraded grounds.“The inspiration for the spa was a house that Ellen Degeneras designed in Southern CA. it was a converted horse stable and I loved it. I asked our design team to come up with a “renovated” stable for our spa. The horse image just ‘animates’ the space and was meant to be more illusion than entirely literal. The murals were painted by Tina Wainwright. She is a local artist who we love.” Catherine Bartolomei explained.FARMHOUSE INNSPA SPLENDOR MEETS A SONOMA SETTING

With wide shutters, tall ceilings, stable doors and custom equestrian drawings, the Spa at Farmhouse is already catching the attention of many design publications. The Spa brings the outdoors in, with outdoor spaces off of each treatment room where guests can shower or lounge following their treatments. Under the direction of world-renowned spa partners Francis and Alexander, The Spa at Farmhouse is a small, intimate retreat offering personalized services that include massage, facials, hot stone and aromatherapy. Reecting the Farmhouse Inn philosophy of using pure, fresh, seasonal ingredients, the spa features natural, handmade artisan products in an unhurried, tranquil environment. It is truly 3000 square feet of tranquility.The Farmhouse is comprised of historic buildings and new buildings built in an historic style. Originally built in 1873, the completely restored classic American farmhouse houses the Michelin One Star restaurant. In 2014, working with world renowned resort architects, SB Architects out of San Francisco, and famed interior designer, Myra Hoefer out of Healdsburg, CA, an $8 million addition and renovation of the property completely transformed the Farmhouse into one of America’s premiere destination resorts.

TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianDana Goedewaagen started developing her eye for photographing horses as an eight-year-old taking lessons with pony trainer Emerson Burr at the Faireld County Hunt Club (FCHC) in Westport, Connecticut. Burr taught her the importance of a solid work ethic and attention to detail. He revealed the amazing things that can happen when horses and humans connect.By 18, Dana decided she didn’t have the resources or talent to pursue a riding career. Instead, she became a groom at FCHC, caring for a barn full of brilliant hunters and jumpers, including Leslie Burr-(Lenehan)-Howard’s rst big Grand Prix jumper, Chase the Clouds. It was a thrilling, heady time—until Chase the Clouds colicked and died. “It was my rst great loss, my rst heartbreak,” Dana says. She left FCHC soon after he died.Dana Goedewaagen Jerry Nielsen, Sr. owner of the Thoroughbred breeding facility at Sunnyeld Farm in Bedford, New York, hired Dana to groom for his daughters, Karen and Sandy, both leading competitors on the junior hunter-jumper circuit. At Sunnyeld, Dana cared for an impressive string of show jumpers, including Watership Down and French Leave. After Karen and Sandy aged out of junior competition, Dana settled into grooming for Mary and Harvey Waller at Orleton Farm in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Grooming is grueling. After decades of working with horses 365 days a year, Dana made a clean break from the horse business and began a new career as a respiratory therapist, a job that allowed her time to pursue personal interests.
TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianLENS ENVYSeven years ago, a desire to create homemade Christmas gifts inspired Goedewaagen to try her hand at photography. Not long after she picked up her rst digital SLR, the work ethic she learned from Emerson Burr kicked in and she became determined to master the art of capturing life through a camera lens. A chance visit to Orleton Farm turned photographing horses into an obsession. From the beginning, Dana’s photographs have shown her groom’s eye for detail and connection. Her work focuses on capturing individual personalities and the physical, emotional, even spiritual links that bond horses and humans. She particularly loves to photograph people who care for horses—grooms, farriers, veterinarians—and to depict the unique chemistry between equines and their caregivers.To further support grooms and their work, Goedewaagen photographs for The Grooms Award, which is presented to the groom of the winning horse at events including the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, the Devon Horse Show, and the Del Mar National Horse Show. As a volunteer photographer for Equine Advocates in Valatie, New York, she helps raise funds to support 80 rescued horses, donkeys and mules.Dana appreciates every step of the winding road that led from her rst riding lessons to her current life as a respiratory therapist and equine photographer. “I’ve been lucky,” she says, “I’ve had amazing jobs, met incredible people. For over 10 years, I didn’t look at or touch a horse. I thought I never wanted to see another one. Photography brought horses back into my life. It’s a wonderful gift.”

TCE ________________TheCompetitiveEquestrianThe 10th Annual Franktown Meadows Hunter Derby welcomed many new entrants, all whom enjoyed the atmosphere and calm setting that is Franktown Meadows. The iconic Sierra Nevada mountain range is the stunning backdrop for this spectacular Derby weekend and draws leading professional and amateur riders from across the country. Riders loved the opportunity to take to the pristine Franktown Meadows grass Derby Field. This this annual charitable event supports the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.The event began on a Friday, this year and Nick Haness and Doubled up started the weekend by winning both os the Welcome Stake sponsored by Looking Stone Farm and Cavallo Stables.“This is our rst year coming to Franktown Meadows and we are really happy to be here. It’s spectacular, it’s beautiful, the views, and the wonderful grass footing. I think all of the The 10th Annual Franktown Meadows Hunter Derby Does Not Disappointhorses are loving it here and so are we, Nick shared. Now that we are here and starting to compete, and we can see how well the horses are going here, I think we will come back every year.”Nick continued to talk about the successful day and the young horse that led the eld, “I was really pleased with Reese’s today, he is only a 6 year-old and the youngest horse that we brought to compete. He really shined the most today, so that was very exciting. I can tell his brain is happy here, and he feels really at peace. There are many places to exercise and trail ride around the facility and the horses can relax.” Everyone arrived on the second day to more beautiful weather and to watch or compete in the $10,000 Franktown Meadows 3’ Hunter Derby, presented by Taylor, Harris Insurance Specialists.Winner of the $30,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby Sponsored by Friends of Franktown Meadows Kylee Arbuckle, Fanciful & Silver State Pony Club

Franktown Meadows Hunter Derby has received so much good press, deservedly, as it is really special what they are doing here, and the community feeling that they have created. We had the opportunity to attend this year and Morley was kind enough to make it happen. Even though the barn is split between continents as Joie is traveling in Europe with a client. Morley and I are having an absolute blast, this facility is astoundingly beautiful. Truthfully one of the best parts has been hanging out here at the barn and enjoying the community in which we are surrounded. Being here and on this eld is fantastic, it really is so unbelievable, my gosh, I have never seen anything so spectacular. It has been so wonderful to be able to compete out there this weekend. 100% we will be back, I cannot thank Lynne MacLean, Aimee LaFayette and Natalie Garnett and all the family enough for the time and effort it takes to put on an event like this. It is a one-of-a-kind experience. It really is idilic here.” Meadows exclaimed.Darby Furth Bonomi also a rst time visitor to the event had a great time too, as both of her horses excelled on the derby eld to take home 1st and 3rd place ribbons in the $5,000 3’-3’3” Non-Pro Hunter Classic, presented by Balmoral. “DaVinci and I have been together now for 4 years and he has come so far. In the old days he was a little spooky, a log always bit him, so that was hard, but now today he is just so wonderful. The fence I was worried about was the log fence, as we had not had the opportunity to practice over it yesterday, and it was a lot of logs. However, today he jumped it like a champ, he didn’t even look at the log Ravenswood & owner Lisa WuNick Haness & Verdict Alexis Meadows
and was an absolute dream boat. He certainly has grown up over the years, and logs are not as big of a deal now. He really loves it here, but of course all of the horses love it here, as soon as you get out on that derby eld they start to relax. When you get to gallop the footing feels spongy, another reason for all of the horses to be super Nick Haness & Cortese Jenny Karazissis & Ravenswoodhappy at Franktown Meadows. I look forward to coming back again next year, I love riding on grass and I have to say this is the nicest grass eld I have ever ridden on. The setting and the sheer beauty of this venue it really is unparalleled.” Sunday brought more sun and smiling faces as the event lled again with horses, riders and spectators for what was to be a three round thriller, as Kyle Arbuckle riding Emma Townsend’s Fanciful went head-to-head with Jenny Karazissis on Lisa Wu’s Ravenswood to win the $30,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby.The two riders were tied at the end of the Handy Round with a score of 360 and the decision was made for both riders to complete an additional Handy Round to break the tie, and ultimately decide the winner. Karazissis was rst to enter the eld on Ravenswood, and was awarded a third round score of 182, resulting in an overall score of 542. The gauntlet had been tossed. Arbuckle rose to the challenge piloting Fanciful to a total third round score of 196 including her rst perfect 100 from judge 1, to ultimately take the win with overall score of 542.

He reallyrose to the occasion for me, as I wasexcited and a little nervous entering theeld after Jenny, but I had condencethat he would put in a great effort forme.” Arbuckle explained.Trainer Ned Glynn of Sonoma ValleyStables was ecstatic over the duo’ssuccess. “It was a lot more fun once itwas all over, then when it is actuallyhappening. It was super exciting for ouryoung rider to go up against arguablyone of the best Derby riders of all time.Jenny had a really good trip, which wasincredibly nerve racking as Kylee waswaiting in the wings. To watch Kyleego in there and ride the way she didwas incredibly exciting and incrediblyrewarding. I have never been involvedwith a ride off for the biggest class ofthe show, but there is a rst time foreverything, so you might as well make itbig when it happens.”

All Medal Finals riders must complete the written test Friday morning before their rst riding round (“Phase Two”). The written test is worth a total of 10 points. The written test score is combined with the rider’s rst round score; the combined top ten scores in each division will advance to the Final Round, which takes place during the afternoon on Saturday, August 31st. Please join us during and after the Final Round for the OHJA BBQ and Fundraiser, generously sponsored by Purina. Tickets for the BBQ can be purchased in the show ofce or at the BBQ. All proceeds benet the OHJA, a non-prot organization. Please check with the show ofce for the start times of these events.The Oregon Hunter Jumper Association takes this opportunity to thank all of its sponsors, including those that donated prizes. It is because of the continued support from our sponsors, donors, and members that the OHJA is able to continue its mission; to bring together the equestrian community, to promote horsemanship and sportsmanship, to encourage and promote public support of the equestrian community, and to enhance the knowledge of equestrian competition. I would also like to give a big thank you to Team NW for hosting the OHJA Medal Finals and for their continued support of the OHJA.On behalf of the OHJA Board of Directors, we congratulate all of our competitors and wish them the best of luck!Sincerely,Rebekah SwanOHJA President

However, once entries close for the show holding the OHJA Medal Finals, OHJA, in consultation with show management, may invite up to 10 additional riders who have not accumulated 10 points, starting with the highest point earnersHow are OHJA Medal Classes Conducted?At least 3 riders must complete the course for the class to count toward the OHJA Medal Finals and for the medal to be awarded. Riders in the Mini Medal classes compete over fences not to exceed 2’6”, riders in the Children’s and Adult Amateur Medal classes compete over fences not to exceed 3’, and riders in the Junior/Senior Medal classes compete over fences 3’6” in height. There must be a “ride-off” in each medal class between at least the top 2 riders, with 4 recommended.How do Riders Accumulate Medal Points?Points are accumulated based upon a rider’s placing in qual-ifying classes. Ten points are awarded for 1st place, 6 points for 2nd place, 4 points for 3rd place, 3 points for 4th place, and 2 points for 5th place.

Saturday, February 29, 2020—WHC Hunt Ball!More details to comeAn Ordinary August MorningFor those of us who live “o the strip” (local parlance for the farms of the Woodbrook neighborhood), getting to a 9am hound exercise can take some doing. ere's trac to contend with—and many of us do literally wade through the army to get there. ere's always a list of other things we should be doing, things closer to home, things more lucrative, things that nag in the backs of our minds. A hunt is an event, planned for and dressed for, a day tidily set aside for, but hound exercise is a brisk trot wedged into an already tightly scheduled day. Friday the 16th dawned with no sunshine to herald the delights it would hold. An ordinary morning of rushing and tacking—and did I mention I'd persuaded Emily Rang that she could easily ride at nine and be back to the oce in time for a lunch meeting? e rst sign of unexpected extra fun came when our small eld spied Monsieur Fox Simon climbing into the hound truck that usually only ferries water on hound exercises. Try as we might, we couldn't see if he had a scent bag with him—perhaps he was out for a lark, eager to see how the new puppies have integrated into the hunting pack—but no! ose of us who'd serendipitously roused ourselves to come “out for a trot” would get to watch the rst hunting work of the J litter. Joshua, Jolene, Jumpstart, Jazz, Jodhpur, Jeddy, and JBLM were to make their debut!e warm up consisted of a brisk trot around Lake Mondress and the pack struck the line near the intersection of the fence line and the Elledge Crossing Mainline. e voice was immediate and robust. e pack hunted straight and hot until they found their quarry—whereupon we realized that a dierent sort of young entry had a rst that day. Oliver Wallace (all of ve-and-one-third) le his trusty ride in the hound truck to run in the footsteps of one of his heroes. Ollie has walked out with the pack most of the summer (he's now adept at avoiding puppies on couples) and he decided he was ready to follow Simon and lay his rst line. e pack and Ollie were jubilant at their accomplishments. So many young things growing up. en we realized we'd checked in the middle of a wasp's nest—ah August.e eld took a detour (to avoid wasps) and met the pack in the Logistics Center Oaks where they watered and had a rest. Despite the hour, the inauspicious day—overcast and cool—meant that the fox, hounds, and horses were able to muster the energy for another line.

66 www.wooDbrookHuNtcLub.com September 2019themselves (noon meetings beckoned) and the eld hacked to the ridge side of McCall Hill. e hounds cast in the wetland (currently dry) known as the Mallard Pond (no ducks presently in residence) and hunted the line to the edge of the Hunter Trials Field. Monsieur Fox (no doubt faster without the aid of his kit-fox Ollie) ran a splendid line and the eld was graced with strong voice (Joshua inherited his grandmother Ketchup's voice, so he may be one-eyed, but he has twice the sound!) A proud huntsman and her sta hacked the pack back to the kennel and the eld dispersed o to our usual Friday aernoons. Making the trek for hound exercise is a gamble—some days it's a trot around the block and some days it's a barn-burner.Michaela HansenBoard Member IntroductionsNew board members come and go, in threes each year, and they never quite receive the introduc-tion or fanfare they deserve. To this end we'll be introducing a board member each month, with a few pertinent details and a few questions from the Proust Questionnaire (posthumously edited by the ghost of Siegfried Sassoon). This month we showcase Theresa Lazares, our new Membership Chair. For years the membership duties have been borne by our Hon. Secretary Michelle Hodeman, assisted by R.J. West, Advisory MFH. is year we were lucky to snag eresa and put her to work. She's a welcoming face in the hunt eld and her eye for eBay keeps many of the sta spily dressed—if you have membership questions please reach out to her. She's in the roster, and soon will be in charge of updating it, so you can be sure her phone number is correct!eresa's rst season hunting was back in 1986, when Diane Amoroso was hunting the pack. She mostly played polo in the eighties before the hunting bug caught her. As a member on-and-o through the nineties eresa married her husband Danny and raised two children on their farm in Gig Harbor. eresa came back to WHC a few years ago and has hunted her een-year-old, bay, Oldenburg mare Indee for the past few seasons. She was awarded her colors at the end of the last season and we look forward to her delightful presence in the hunt eld.eresa's answers to selected questions from the Proust Question-naire (posthumously edited by the ghost of Siegfried Sassoon) Your favorite virtue?

September 2019 www.wooDbrookHuNtcLub.com 67ACHEKMBFe View From the DrivewayHumans are peculiar creatures—they have very strong opinions on all the places one should not li one's leg. e rules of the human pack can be a bit mystifying. ey frequently look at me, sigh, and say, “Jupiter, you're not supposed to be in the house.” I'm not sure what those words mean, so I ignore them. On the whole, I think I've distilled the rules down to a few simple guidelines: • Don't get on the furniture, except when no one's looking. • Short people bring snacks, short dogs bring trouble. •Only pee in places where you can still see the sky.•Make sure you're not the only dog who can reach the table top during human meals; ey think if they walk away from a dish of food it should stay exactly as they le it, so you don't want to be the only one liable for doing the responsible thing and nishing that food.All in all, it's not hard to be a barn dog. e humans are very fond of standing in the middle of the arena and telling other people what to do—they even nd strangers to come do it! e last stranger, Wendy Murdoch, thought I was delightful (she's not wrong) and I helped her with two days of standing in the arena. (e plate leavings were exceptional.)Beyond that, we're nally back to fun—Jenn got the scent bottle out this morning! I found her alchemical laboratory soon aer I moved in (can't keep a good nose o the job). e humans call it the “wash rack,” but it's where she hangs the lures and mixes potions of scent. Everyone else kept on tacking horses—as if magic weren't happening before our very noses. With a few pours and swirls she conjured a red fox and then sealed it up in a little bag for Simon to carry.'Twasn't proper lines we ran, but little nds so the pups could work their noses. Aer the rst, she let us work through the bracken and brambles. ose pups found Simon and the hound truck, but they worked true and didn't babble. I think they'll learn the game just ne. e days are nally shortening, and might even cool o, so real hunting will be next. It's a good thing I've gotten the humans and their house all gured out, they've added a new one to the pack. ey call him William. So far he's just noisy, but I imagine he'll grow up like the rest of the human pups and start dropping treats. Regards,Jupiter
