The Hunt

Juniors

Young riders are part of the Hunt's future, and they learn the country, the hounds and the courtesies of the field alongside the rest of us.

Children are the future of fox hunting, and the Hunt aims to foster a lifelong love of the sport. Junior activities have included kennel visits with puppies and hounds, hound exercise, hunter paces, off-season trail rides and the annual Junior Meet.

  • Contact the Hunt to introduce your young rider and discuss suitable activities.
  • Review the attire, etiquette and capping information with them before a first day.
