Jane Arnold, “Sister” is Master of Foxhounds, MFH, of The Jefferson Hunt in central Virginia. In her early seventies, she’s strong, bold, loves her life, the people and animals in it. Like many people who live a deep life, she endured a terrible loss, her son, which ultimately taught her to cherish life, especially the simple things.

Shaker Crown, the hunt’s long-serving huntsman, is loyal, reliable, mostly quiet. He and Sister are two peas in a pod when it comes to hunting philosophy.
