What you get:
- Seventeen days of hunting with seventeen different packs in the heart of Virginia!
- An informal tailgate breakfast will follow each meet.
- Additional events are listed below.
What you need to bring:
- Most of the meets are part of cubhunting season and traditional ratcatcher attire is appropriate. Reedy Creek Hounds will celebrate their Opening Meet -- formal attire is requested. If you have colors from your home hunt, you are welcome to wear them.
- State law requires that proof of a negative Coggins test be presented at each meet for each horse present.
- State law requires that participants carry a current Virginia hunting license while hunting. It is not the responsibility of each day's host hunt club to verify that participants obey the law by obtaining and carrying a hunting license but license fees support conservation and habitat preservation. Virginia Hunt Week organizers strongly encourage every foxhunter to purchase a license. If you live outside the state of Virginia and wish to purchase a license, you may purchase a license by phone or by mail or online, or at most Walmart stores. (They seem to have discontinued online sales of licenses. You may read that you're required to pass the state-sanctioned hunter education program. That does not apply to foxhunters.)
Please return by mail:
- The registration form and waiver, printed and completed. Participating juniors should have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian or their authorized agent. Forms are available here. The form is slow to download. Please be patient. If you can't download the forms from this website, please let me know! Email mortonc@wlu.edu.
- Payment (personal check or money order made out to Virginia Hunt Week). There is one fee for all Virginia Hunt Week activities. Regular hunting members of the seventeen affiliated hunt clubs may participate for a fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) per person. Other foxhunters will pay a fee of three hundred fifty dollars ($350) per person. There are reduced fees for juniors and citizens of the UK. A portion of the fees will be donated to the MFHA in honor of its Centennial.
A penalty for late registration will be assessed. Anyone whose registration information is postmarked after midnight on September 30 will be charged an additional fifty dollars ($50).
Please support our long-time sponsor, Horse Country.
The Masters of all participating Hunts have agreed not to allow capping on the day they host Virginia Hunt Week. This helps to support the event as a whole. If you're only able to attend two or three days of hunting, it's still well worth signing up!
Arrangements for human and equine accommodations are up to each participant. We have listed some accommodations, grouped by area - Southwestern, Northern, Central, and Eastern.
For additional information, contact Cindy Morton by email (mortonc@wlu.edu) or telephone. For promptest response, please call at the office, 540-458-8109. You can also leave a voicemail message at 540-458-3614.
