WE owe a huge debt of gratitude to the horse and hound for creating so many lasting friendships around the world. And none more than between the members of the Genesee Valley Hunt and members of the Killinick Harriers. Numerous Irish hunt followers have hunted with the GVH, and as many more have hunted with the Killinick, they hold a special place for the Traditional Irish Hunter.
