Basic Foxhunting Etiquette PDF Print E-mail

  • If hacking to the meet, never hack through a covert that could potentially be hunted that day.  Use the roads as much as possible to avoid moving foxes out of the covert before the hunt.

  • When trailering to a meet, be sure to park in the designated area.  Minimize our impact on the site by not shoveling manure from your trailer onto the ground.  Bucket it and take it with you when you leave.

The Basics of Foxhunting Attire PDF Print E-mail

Foxhunting attire is grounded in tradition, but that tradition is firmly based upon practicality.  It has developed over the years to keep riders comfortable in the weather and field conditions that one is likely to encounter in the fall, winter, and early spring. Further, for many who participate in or watch the hunt, including landowners and their families, the spectacle of a nicely turned-out field is pleasurable and indicates our respect for both the traditions of the sport and the landscape to which we have been granted access. The details of acceptable attire vary somewhat from region to region and hunt to hunt.

The Pony Club Pledge

As a member of the United States Pony Clubs, I stand for the best in sportsmanship as well as in horsemanship. I shall compete for the enjoyment of the game well played and take winning or losing in stride, remembering that without good manners and good temper, sport loses its cause for being. I shall endeavor to maintain the best tradition of the ancient and noble skill of horsemanship, always treating my horse with consideration due a partner.
