Carmarthenshire Hunt Point-to-Point 1930


Horses on a course that involves jumps – and falls. Minature hunters get a race to themselves.

A point-to-Point involves jumps and is open to horses that hunt and here they are seen with riders at Pass-by, competing in various groups e.g. Carmarthenshire Hunt Club farmers or farmers from adjacent hunts. There is a special race for miniature hunters. Shot by W H Buckley and his wife, Karolie Kathleen Buckley who lived at ‘Castell Gorfod', Llangynin. W H Buckley, of the Buckley's Brewery (Llanelli) family, became Master of the Carmarthenshire Foxhounds in May 1931.

There are also shots of the Carmarthenshire Hunt Club at Pontantwn, near Kidwelly, Phil the Huntsman [Phil Davies] leading the hounds over a bridge. James Wedge Buckley, brother of William Howell Buckley, can be seen wearing a top hat and smoking a cigarette. The hounds are also recorded pouring out of their kennels at Pass-by.
