As Hurricane Irma tracked up the length of Florida and into the southeast, many of our hunts were impacted by the wind and flooding that accompanied the storm. Fortunately, staff and supporters across several states prepared ahead of time to reinforce kennels, stockpile supplies, and coordinate cleanup efforts.
The MFHA Foundation’s Hark Forward initiative consists of friendly competitions and events nationwide to connect foxhunters, to celebrate all aspects of our sport and to raise funds for the renovations of the new National Headquarters in Middleburg, VA.
David Twiggs, Executive Director: Headwaters Hounds in Colorado is experiencing a nasty dispute with some relatively new neighbors who have initiated an online misinformation campaign designed to influence the local government and restrict non-commercial agriculture practices. This could impact sporting dogs, horse keeping, and small home farming all the way down to the local 4-H Club projects. The MFHA will continue to support Headwaters Hounds in all ways possible.
Mission Valley Hunt Club (KS) hosted visitors from across the central region of the country on August 8 at the Great Plains Summer Hunt Seminar in Kansas City, Missouri. Organized by Jane Jeffries, DVM, MFH, the day's panelists included experts across a variety of hunt-related fields. Attendees appreciated the information as well as the opportunity to share experiences and ideas with others, sometimes a challenge during the season due to the vast geographic distances between hunts in this area.
