On Saturday, December 21, 2024 Farmington MFH, staff, and members warmly welcomed thirteen Glenmore members for a joint meet at their Sherwood Farm fixture. The day was filled with camaraderie, excellent riding, and spectacular views of Farmington’s beautiful countryside. Farmington hounds worked diligently and opened up several times. Their amateur whip, John, shared that the hounds followed a red fox right to the edge of their territory before being redirected to another covert. 

“We had a blast in the second flight riding behind Kip Holloway, MFH, and our membership showed up strong, representing in every field,” shared member Brieanna Richards. 

The Farmington Hunt Club members couldn’t have been more gracious, extending generous hospitality to everyone in attendance. The fixture itself was inviting, with rolling hills and well-maintained trails that Farmington is known for. Their thoughtfully led fields allowed for excellent positioning to watch hounds work, as well as fun riding for their Glenmore guests. 

Special thanks to Anne Brooks, MFH, for organizing this wonderful opportunity to connect with our friends in Charlottesville. We are deeply grateful to Farmington’s Masters, Huntsman, and their members for their hospitality and for making the day so memorable. Finally, a shout out to Michele Carter for capturing the day in beautiful photos. 

"This joint meet reminds us of the importance of collaboration and shared experiences in the hunting community. Thank you to everyone who participated!" — Anne Brooks, MFH
