The Wellington-Waterloo Hunt Club is a group of riding enthusiasts dedicated to nature, foxhounds and horses; together in camaraderie and sport! W-WH is a drag hunt, and we embrace the traditions associated with our sport.

Simulating a Fox Hunt

The Wellington-Waterloo hunt is a drag hunt! No animals are hurt in our sport!  An artificial scent is laid (dragged on a rag) on a planned route,for hounds to find and chase. The Huntsman casts the hounds,the action begins! The Field Master leads, insuring that the Field can safely observe the hounds as they work. The hounds are rewarded at the end of the chase, by finding a deposit of delicious treats.

The Kennels

Our kennel is a happy place for the hunt club's hounds. We work hard to meet and exceed health and security standards set out by local kennel bylaws, the Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America (MFHA) and regional animal welfare organizations. Every hound is registered with the MFHA, which keeps track of bloodlines and ensures the continuity of foxhound history.

Riding to Hounds

Wellington-Waterloo Hunt Club was registered with the MFHA in 1965. The club and its supporters have spent many years doing what we love to do: Riding to Hounds! 

Every hunt is a totally new and different experience. We embrace the traditions associated with our sport enthusiastically and passionately. The land we hunt allows us to follow the hounds asthey pursue the scent over fields, hills, valleys and woodlands, which span acre after acre.
