The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex. They have been hunting "the cleanboot" since they were founded in the 1970s.  This means the hounds follow the natural scent of human runners who set off ahead of the pack - no other scent is used (whether animal or synthetic) and there is no killing involved - the runners just get licked at the end of each hunt.

This will be a Lawn Meet so horses should be plaited and riders should be smart and tidy.  This will be an excellent day jumping hunt timber on the glorious South Downs.  Jumping will be optional and we will have a Non-Jumping Master.  Don’t forget the Downs are always 2 degrees colder than elsewhere so an extra layer is needed. 

Please bring a mug for tea and goodies to share.
