Opening Meet 2011

On the first Saturday in November, Red Mountain Hounds celebrates the beginning of formal hunt season with "Opening Meet".  This year marked a turning point for RMH with Master Garry Riggs stepping forward to hunt the hounds.   With the departure of David Raley, Master Riggs hunts the hounds until our new huntsman, Crispin Wilson takes over in 2012.
