Enjoy a new adventure foxhunting with three (total four riders) of your friends with the historic 91-year old Woodbrook Hunt Club! You and your friends or family will enjoy one night’s stay at Master of Foxhounds Melody Fleckenstein’s Hunt Box (Virginia slang for a weekend “box” to stay at during the foxhunting season) which is within walking distance of the hunt club! Bring your own horse or ride our seasoned hunt horses! Up to four hunt horses will be provided for any level of rider, jumping is not required, we have three “flights” or speeds that can accommodate all levels from galloping on the heels of the huntsman and foxhounds with first flight fieldmaster Emily Rang to taking a more sedate route and “hilltopping” to watch all the action from a distance! Additional riders may be included if they bring their own horses!

 

Included in this wonderful Foxhunting weekend:

 

One night at MFH Melody Fleckenstein’s Huntbox, can accommodate at least six riders depending on how cozy you want to get (two queen beds, two bunkbeds)… ($350.00 value)

Livery for four riders, ($400.00 value) or overnight stabling if you bring your own horse(s)

A car caravan can be arranged for those that wish to follow the hunt
