So much is steeped in tradition.  A good horse, properly turned out, the proper clothing and an
invitation to a hunt is a must.

There is protocol, respect for staff and the foxhounds to learn about.

There are usually two or three  "flights" at the bigger hunt clubs.

  • The first flight will go very fast and try to keep up with staff and hounds.    
  • The second flight will go a little slower - jump less and take shortcuts.
  • The third flight are the "hilltoppers" who ride slowly and are escorted to sites for good
    viewing of the hounds working.  So one should be prepared to request permission to ride
    in a suitable "flight".
