Fall Calendar

  • First day of cub hunting Monday, September 6, at the Kennels at 7 a.m.: Please park at Glenwood Park. A tailgate breakfast will follow. Cub hunting is open to subscribers and cappers.

  • Puppy Auction at Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Feneis’ Mount Harmony on Sunday, September 19, at 6 p.m.: Thanks to the kind hospitality of landowners, Jean Ann and Ralph Feneis, we have a fun new venue, the spectacular loft party room of their beautiful barn. Complete with cocktails and fabulous hors d’oeuvres organized by Jan and Geoff Ogden, this lively party gives you the chance to purchase the right to name one of the Middleburg Hunt puppies. There is no charge to attend. Form a syndicate or work alone to be the successful bidder to name one of our future super stars. Please bring your children; they present the puppies and are as much fun to watch as the puppies.

  • Night Hunt and Barbeque at Mr. & Mrs. Rodion Cantacuzene’s Landfall Farm, Saturday, October 23, at 5 p.m.: The Cantacuzenes provide us with a beautiful setting and a camp fire for roasting marshmallows, fun for children of all ages. The Night Hunt attracts foxhunters and non-foxhunters alike, since riding is not involved. After a barbeque, catered by Mr. B, enjoy walking through the woods or sitting by the fire, listening to the music of the Middleburg Hunt foxhounds under the moon. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring your flash light. You don’t want to miss this popular evening.

  • Opening Meet at Groveton Farm by the kind invitation of Vice Admiral and Mrs. William Houser at 9 a.m., Saturday, November 6.

  • Governors’ Opening Meet Breakfast in honor of our landowners at Foxcroft School’s Spur and Spoon at 6 p.m., Saturday, November 6.

  • Fox/Hound Day at Foxcroft School on Saturday, November 20: The meet will be at 9 a.m. at the stable. The field is invited to a hunt breakfast at the Head of School’s house, Covert, at noon. As is the tradition, we will appoint Foxcroft students to honorary staff positions for the day of hunting. This is one of the ways we prepare future leaders of our sport.

  • Christmas in Middleburg on Saturday, December 4: One of our most popular meets, hounds and field parade down Main Street prior to hunting.

  • Hunt Ball in Spring of 2011: Plans are underway for another spectacular evening of dinner, dancing and of course silent auction bidding to benefit our hounds. All agree there is no party more elegant or more fun. Stay tuned for time and place.
