Greetings to The List I also agree with THL Rebecca.
The Queen's Coursing has always been for the Royal Packs which is primarily Greys and it does not need to be changed at this late date. A request from any Queen should be honored with the Queen of Meridies permission since it is her coursing. As Rebecca so eloquently put it , "each breed courses differently" and each breed is given a chance to course.
