Hide AdHunting and Livery became a key feature in his life. He took up hunting with The Iveagh Harriers & County Down Stag Hounds, owning several well-bred horses, even competing in many point-to-point meetings. It was during this period that he met his wife who was also a keen horsewoman. In the present day, he has forsaken the saddle, and now follows hounds on foot.
