Fancy a fantastic hunting experience?

We are an established Hunter Hireling yard based in the South East of England, providing well-mannered, fit, and immaculately presented horses for local drag and bloodhound* packs. Each horse is delivered to the meet and collected afterwards for your convenience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.

We can arrange for you to join a local hunt as a guest rider. Nearby drag and bloodhound packs offer an exceptional opportunity to ride across fine hunting country in the company of experienced riders, with optional jumping for those who wish to participate.

Our horses, carefully selected from Ireland and the UK, are accomplished hunters renowned for their manners, stamina, and performance. They offer an exhilarating yet polished experience for the discerning rider.

Please note: Bloodhound hunting follows the “clean boot,” where hounds work the natural human scent, while drag hunting follows an artificial trail laid in advance.
