more about trail hunting in general, or the New Forest Hounds in particular.
Within these pages you will find information on the
history of the New Forest Hounds, past
masters, hunting appointments,
officers of the hunt and
pictures from past meets. If you would like to come to one of our meets
you will be more than welcome. There is also information on
hirelings
and a section introducing hunting. Browse through the links on the left at your leisure.
If you have any questions, would like to make any comments or would like to
send in some of your own photographs, then do please email them to
newforesthounds@aol.com.
The New Forest is an ideal country in which to begin hunting on a horse, as
there is no jumping required, and as there is free public access to the
forest, you can take your own line at your own speed as your knowledge and
experience allows. Anyone competent at walk, trot and canter, with a
reasonably sensible horse will easily cope with a days hunting in the New
Forest. The many wide open heathland areas also allow great opportunity to
watch the skill of hounds and huntsman at work.

In case you are not already aware it is very IMPORTANT for mounted followers to know that we are only permitted by the Forestry Commission to enter previously designated car parks on any hunting day.We MUST NOT cross any other car park on the day. There is not room to put all the car parks on the meet card so please keep the following list (see hunting appointments) and check the permissible car parks on any day you intend to follow hounds mounted.This is a requirement of our Licence and therefore must be adhered to.
