What you get:

Nine days of hunting with nine 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. State law requires that proof of a negative Coggins test be presented at each meet for each horse present. NEW! State law requires that horses transported into Virginia from other states must have a health certificate. 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. (You may read that you're required to pass the state-sanctioned hunter education program. That does not apply to foxhunters.)

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.
