Coming up in just a week and a half!
For the qualifier, there will be jumping and non-jumping fields. Proper turnout matters! Participants should have clean/tidy horses, appropriate attire (rat catcher), and suitable tack. (Braiding not required.) Plan to be mounted in trailer parking area no later than 9am. There will be a simple "flat class" (w/t/c halt, reverse field, hold hard, etc.) followed by individual tests that may consist of drop rails, gates, hand gallops, coops (for jumping participants), etc. Nothing you wouldn't be expected to do in an actual hunt field! The class and tests are not judged, they simply provide an opportunity to show off and/or test your foxhunting skills and knowledge! The day's formal hunt begins at 11am. Outrider Judges will be present in the fields to observe, so don't forget to show off your proper hand signals and hunt etiquette!
For juniors participating as staff but not qualifying, you are welcome to join the pre-hunt activities. You will, of course, not be judged during the hunt.
Please contact MFH Candy Smith with questions and to ensure we expect you!
