    The A B C of Drag Hunting

    About this ebook

    This book is a whimsical take on the equestrian sport, drag hunting. It is an activity where mounted riders hunt the trail of an artificially laid scent with hounds. The author goes through the alphabet and dedicates a quatrain for each letter of the alphabet, written in a manner not quite too dissimilar to that of a children's 'ABC rhyme book'.
