Take a few moments to plan for a few of the annual signature events of our sport: Hunt Night at the PA National Horse Show, the Theodora A. Randolph Field Hunter Championships, the Junior North American Field Hunter Championships, and the Festival of the Hunt in Tryon, NC.
Wentworth Hunt Club (NH) has hosted the Conservation Hunter Pace along the Pawtuckaway River at the beautiful Fine Nest Farm for over a decade. This farm has a conservation easement held by Bear-Paw Regional Greenways. Hundreds of acres of woods and green space is in conservation at and adjacent to Fine Nest Farm, protecting this important waterway.
North Hills Hunt (NE) meets at the spectacular Burwell fixture are always popular with locals and visitors alike. Severe flooding last April caused the Performance Trials to be rescheduled for the October dates. Guests are welcome to hunt, enjoy the competition, and socialize!
The MFHA Foundation continues to partner with public health researchers to investigate and innovate in the area of canine health. Extending our cooperation with Dr. Christine Petersen, we are supporting specialized research into the impact of various tick-borne diseases on susceptibility to other illnesses. As Dr. Petersen reported to the Board in May, not only will these studies potentially improve hound management, they may provide insight into disease processes in humans, as well.
Hosted by London Hunt (ON), the Canadian Hound Show on June 8 featured strong competition, beautiful weather, and a unique feature - hounds competing from both the furthest south MFHA pack and the furthest north. Andrew Marren has taken up the horn at Palm Beach Hounds (FL), whose midwinter season will complement the late summer/ early fall schedule of Montreal Hounds (QC), where he will continue his several years' service as huntsman.
