The Warwickshire Hunt.

Following its formation in 1791, the Warwickshire Hunt’s kennels are today situated in the picturesque village of Little Kineton, Nr Warwick, where our huntsman and whipper-in, other employees including a stud groom, countryman and kennelman live. At the kennels, we keep the hunt horses and the hounds. Our hounds go out 7 days a fortnight, we are one of the very few packs where hounds go out 4 days a week.

The country - the area registered to our particular hunt covering Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, is a mixture of pasture and arable, crossed mainly by means of hedges, timber and hunt jumps - mainly provided by a volunteer fencing scheme.

Visitors, irrespective of their age, experience and knowledge of hunting are very welcome to come out with us (all the known conditions permitting).  Please contact the Secretaries, who can advise you of details - eg rates, times of meets, directions, where to unbox, availability of hirelings etc.  They will be very pleased to hear from you and to answer any questions you may have.

We particularly welcome and encourage children and young persons coming out and riding to hounds.  We also particularly welcome members from the two Hunt affiliated local branches of the Pony Club.
 
Our ‘Newcomers Scheme’ is designed to encourage those who wish to experience riding to hounds for the first time and to this end, every autumn we stage a ‘Newcomers Day’ which is always an eagerly anticipated and well attended event.  Our scheme includes arrangements whereby knowledgeable persons are assigned to look after Newcomers, inform them what's going on and importantly, to ensure their safe passage.  We also have a Non-Jumping Field Master on certain days. For more details and guidance, go to our Newcomers page.
