JUST outside the small village of Ballingarry on the Tipperary Offaly border lies Princess Farm which was the venue for the opening meet of the famed Ormond Foxhounds.

Our hosts were Danni Louinski and her daughter Ashling who became our guide for the day. Danni and her husband, Dr John, came to Ireland from Minnesota to hunt and never left. Danni and John were masters of the Ormond before the good doctor sadly passed away a couple of yeas ago.
