Peggy is turning one of the bedrooms in her hunt box as a collection site for auction items. So no need to wait until October to get ITEMS to Flint.
ADDITIONALLY: At closing Hunt, MFH Barb announced that she was stepping down as Master and turning her responsibilities over to MFH Peggy. We cannot thank Barb enough for all of her contributions and sacrifices that she made for Harvard Foxhounds so that we can enjoy a sport that we all love. She was instrumental in founding this hunt and has been a constant presence to ensure its success ever since. I wish Barb an enjoyable and happy retirement pursuing and landing lunker trout! Cheers!!

HFH Challenge Event 2023 ... May 1 --- Knight Pecan Farm, 18400 S 129 th West Ave, Sapulpa, Ok 74066-- There will be 2 divisions--HILLTOPPERS: (walk/trot with inviting X's to hop over) and FIRST FIELD. (walk/trot/canter/gallop/hold on for dear life.) Jumps 2'6-- You can ride as a team or an individual.--Team scores will be averaged. There will be an event winner for each division, then an overall winner for the Series in each division. SERIOUS BRAGGING RIGHTS to be had ! ---- OBSTACLES: Designed to test control and willingness. For example. In the hunt field often the field must yield the trail to the hounds and staff by backing off the trail and standing quietly until they pass. One of the obstacles will be to back between 2 ground poles and stand for 30 sec. I will send out a diagram of the course in advance of each event so you can practice beforehand.-- This, being the first of these endeavors, puts us on the steep learning curve. Things will probably not go as expected....as long as we are having fun, who cares! Eventually, we will find all the holes, fill them and find ourselves with a truly fun and challenging event. That is the BIG plan! THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you find you can come, please text your RSVP to me. 918)629-2094. I am headed out of town and cannot check my email on my phone! or text 929-629-2094 -- For those that are not able to make it and want to donate the hunt just has venmo now, @HarvardFoxHounds
