The Woodford Hounds
If you're looking for a foxhunting crowd to have a blast with or a new and exciting way to experience the bluegrass, Woodford Hounds is the place to go. Run by the three Masters of Foxhounds (MFH), Jane Winegardner, Sam Adams and Robert Lyons, this is the place to have fun and to truly learn how to ride the way everybody used to "in the old days." As anyone in the central Kentucky area knows, development and urban sprawl has begun to take over, so Woodford Hounds has added additional counties to Woodford County as their home hunting grounds including Mercer, Lincoln, Nelson and Garrard Counties. Be sure to join us for the Blessing of the Hounds, come cap at one of our hunts or simply come explore this stunning Kentucky landscape by horseback behind a group of amazing foxhounds. For more information, check out their website (www.thewoodfordhounds.org) to get a good idea of what foxhunting is truly all about!
