The New Forest Hunt Club first became an organized society in 1781 and is still to the fore of the hunting world today. In this fascinating book the author a member of the present day Hunt Club, studies the history and development of the New Forest Hunt form the early days until modern times.

The outstanding characters, both animal and hums, are vividly presented with the help of quotations and sections from sporting books and journals over the years.

The many illustrations include old etchings and prints to give a true flavor of the early days, together with many splendid photographs, both modern and old, of the Hunt members, the meets, the hounds and horses and the New Forest itself.
