Everything you wanted to know about hunting (but never dared ask!) – especially for mounted packs.

Packed with tradition, insight, this delightful guide covers every aspect of hunting life. From essential etiquette to modern-day innovations like mobile phones and health & safety, it’s a handbook for both newcomers and seasoned followers alike.

Highlights include:

• Dress & turnout(with a bonus Sloe Gin recipe for your hip-flask!)
• Horses & hounds – what to know and how to conduct yourself in the field
• Hunt staff, terriers, and foot followers – understanding every role
• Lawn meets, events & supporters’ clubs – the heart of the community

As the introduction reminds us, the future of our hounds depends on the standards we uphold. This book honours the traditions of the past while embracing the changes of the present, all with the spirit of fun, respect, and appreciation for the countryside.

Printed in aid of the Hunt Staff Benefit Society, this is a fascinating read whether you’re new to hunting or not – and it makes a wonderful gift for any country enthusiast.
