Welcome to Foxhunting in Virginia

Foxhunting is a long-standing Virginia tradition, ever since colonial times. George Washington kept a pack of foxhounds! To this day, our beautiful and gracious state is known as a mecca for fox hunters. We hope to impart to you some of the excitement and pure joy of mounted foxhunting in Virginia with news, articles, a calendar of events, a FAQs, hunt reports, and much more.

Quote of the Day

The young men were holloaing at the tops of their voices, hoisting their flat caps on their walking sticks and waving them in the air, almost jumping up and down in their excitement.

"I reckon they've started another fox," said one man disconsolately.  "He'd surely have lifted 'em to the holloa."

Then the horn sounded and hounds began to speak.  By the time the mounted field came thundering down the slope the fox was minutes ahead of them.

Soon afterwards the Master instructed the Huntsman to blow 'Going Home!' and they turned for home in the gathering dusk.  The remnants of the field bade the Master good night and rode away in different directions.
