History
Hound trailing originated in the 18th century, when a dispute arose as to which of two foxhunting packs was the fastest. Later years saw the addition of the aniseed and paraffin scent trail. The Hound Trailing Association, LTD (HTA) was set up in 1906 as the first association to oversee trails. This was later followed by others such as the Borders Hound Trailing Association, BHTA, in 1933, the Yorkshire Hound Trailing Association, YHTA as well as Irish associations in County Cork and County Kerry.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
