Two winners

The winners of the Hubertusjagt run-up 2011 for horses was Kamille Dumong Erichsen on Harry Potter, seen here with trophy and winner's blanket respectively.

A sport for spectators

With 30.000 to 40.000 people watching the Hubertusjagt this has turned this annual parforce hunt into a spectators sport, with the people flocking to the more spectacular obstacles. If the weather permits it, lunch and hot drinks are brought and the whole family can enjoy a day in the park among the deer.

Fly with me

The riders in the Hubertusjagt are in two packs, the regular horses first and the ponies behind them. But they mostly jump the same obstacles, so the ponies almost have to learn how to fly to get over.

How to jump a fence

The traditional parforce hunt, the Hubertusjagt was the event of the day last Sunday as it always is on the first Sunday in November. It is held in one of my favorite places, Dyrehaven, just north of Copenhagen and it's a brilliant way to spend an autumn grey Sunday, especially if you like to watch the world through a view finder.

A true countryside

It's hard to believe that Brede Open-air Museum is surrounded by suburbs no more than a few kilometres from central Copenhagen. The horse on this photo could as well be very far out in the countryside and the time could have been a hundred years ago.
