Social Calendar
Hunting may be seasonal, but the Hunt's activities go on year-round. There is a Hunt activity each month enjoyed by members of all ages. Most are family affairs centered around the tradition and fun of foxhunting, but one need not be a rider to enjoy them. The calendar includes: |
Greet Prospective New Members Hunt Clinic |
A pre-season hunt clinic to greet prospective members and to orient new ones. |
Hunt Breakfasts |
Traditional aprčs-hunt feasts featuring numerous culinary delights concocted by hosts. During the formal season, there is usually a breakfast held at the meet or nearby or an ever-varying array of tailgate delights! The annual Christmas party/breakfast is one not to miss! |
| The Hunt Ball |
| The season's social highlight, this is a white tie gala featuring elegant dining and dancing and special auctions to support the hounds. |
| The Annual Meeting and Awards Party |
| At this end of the season meeting, members gather to elect board members and review the state of the Hunt. Laughter and stories abound amid great food, ample drink and gracious company. The event concludes with the presentation of special Hunt awards including the coveted "Slippery Saddle Award" for the best fall during the season! |
| Riding Events |
| Each year Windy Hollow Hunt organizes several dressage shows at the Sussex County Fairgrounds as well as a number of cross country hunter pace events over our hunting territory. The annual high point pace trophy is hotly contested! |
| Landowners Party |
| Although welcome at all events, once a year the Hunt throws a special picnic, specifically for the generous people who allow us to enjoy our sport by riding across their land. This is a wonderful opportunity to renew mutual respect and friendship. |
| Summer Activities |
| Many opportunities for fun are held formally and informally during the summer by our members: trail rides, etc. The Hunt is informally allied with the Jockey Hollow Pony Club and some things revolve around their schedule as well. Although hounds are "roaded" on foot or "walked out" all year round, the spring and summer are especially busy as hounds are leash-broke and introduced to a working pack setting. Help is always appreciated! |
