The Professional Hunt Staff Class will take place at the conclusion of the Deep Run Hunt Club Hunter Trials in the cross country field. Open to past and present Professional Staff. Traditional hunting tack and equipment needed including hunting horn for a Huntsman and hunt whip for a Whipper-in. Participants may be asked to perform certain tasks associated with the hunting field such as trotting fences, opening gates, cracking whips, etc. To be shown over a modified handy hunter course. Fences at 2.6' – 3'. A purse of $1,000 will be awarded to the winning professional staff member. A rider/horse may ride for only one hunt. This Professional foxhunter class will be judged on performance, manners, suitability of horse and rider, soundness and uniformity as a team. We see this as a great chance to show the community the beautiful skills of foxhunters riding cross country and build excitement for the hunting season to begin.
