Hunting Guests

Throughout the season, Marlborough Hunt Club welcomes guests and prospective members to participate in its calendar of trail riding, cubbing, and formal hunt fixtures or meets.  A guest invited and accompanied by a MHC Member or Staff should be introduced to the Masters prior to the beginning of the event or hunt. The MHC member should also introduce the guest to the Field Secretary.  When wanting to bring a guest, the Member must contact one of the Joint Masters of Fox Hounds in advance, not just bring the guest to the hunt.  

All guests must sign a waiver.  During the hunting season, proper fox hunting attire is required. See Fox Hunting Protocol for more information. Click here for a release form.

It is required by the MHC constitution that a capping fee shall be paid by a Member for each hunting guest. The same guest is limited to three hunts during the season. The capping fee is $100 on weekends, holidays and weekdays. The capping fee for Juniors is one-half that amount at the discretion of the Masters. Member should make payment of the cap fee to one of the Field Secretaries.

Junior Hunt Day - The first Sunday of every month is free for Juniors, accompanied by a Club Member or paying adult. The Junior should contact one of the Joint Masters of Fox Hounds (Contact The Masters) by the preceding Wednesday to inform them of their intention to ride with the Hunt. At the meet, each Junior should check in with the MFH leading the Field they wish to join, or he or she may be assigned to ride with a Staff member if appropriate.
