Doomed from its 1881 conception, the Meadow Brook hunt on Long Island, New York, managed to survive for ninety years in spite of turmoil and new technology. Foxhunting with Meadow Brook tells the story of the people who, for almost a century, rode behind the Meadow Brook hounds.

Foxhunting with Meadow Brook on Long Island, New York, was always about more than the fox, the hounds, or the horses. Meadow Brook was about its people—some powerful, some idle, many wealthy—and their shared joy in galloping across beautiful country, only minutes outside New York City. Doomed from its 1881 conception, the Meadow Brook hunt managed to survive for ninety years in spite of poor scenting, sandy soil, angry farmers, quirky millionaires, trolleys, trains, automobiles, and airplanes. Foxhunting with Meadow Brook tells the story of the people who, for almost a century, rode behind the Meadow Brook hounds.

Judith Tabler grew up near and has been a member of the Meadow Brook Hunt Club. She is an author, freelance writer and photographer, and has also been a professor of literature and languages at Marymount University. She lives in McLean, Virginia.
