Our Why
OUR SHARED VALUES - NO LAND, NO FUTURE!
Though different in nature, our sports have shared values. In short, no land means no future. Thoughtful wildlife habitat management is essential for all sports. WHH's mission is to preserve the sport of mounted hunting with hounds now and for future generations. We strive to do this with support from the MFHA (Masters of Fox Hounds Association) to develop programs that educate the public about our sport, promote conser- vation, and preservation of natural habitat. Addi- tionally, we support programs dealing with the health and welfare of horses and hounds.
Many WHH members actively support the Orange County Land Trust, The New Jersey Land Preservation Program, and the New York State Farmland Protection Program. The Masters of WHH are members of the "28 New York Masters'' which supports a lobbyist in Albany to watch out for any NYS Legislation that would negatively impact hunting with hounds and hunting in general.
