 Hunt Courtesies and General Hunting Procedures

   1. Speak to the Master and Honorary Secretary on arrival at the meet and thank the entire staff after the hunt for the day's sport. When in the field, always address the Master and the Field Master as Mrs. or Mr.
   2. Be certain to introduce guests to the Master and Honorary Secretary. Tender your cap fee to the Honorary Secretary when appropriate. Do not wait to be asked.
   3. Ladies in the field with long hear should wear hairnets. If you don't know whether your hair is "long", ask MFH Johnson.
   4. After the Field Master comes Ladies and Gentlemen with colors, followed by Ladies and Gentlemen without colors. While seniority is relevant, equally important is the safe arragement of the field. Bolder horses should be ridden forward and under control.
   5. If your horse kicks, put a red ribbon on his tail and position yourself in the field where you will be least likely to injure others. If your horse is green or is misbehaving, ride him at the rear.
   6. When jumping, drop into line well back from the jump, and don't cut ahead of someone already committed. Give the rider in front of you ample room. Give the Staff and the hounds the right of way at all jumps. Make sure there are no hounds in the way on the other side of the jump before starting. If you have a refusal, go to the back of the field and follow the last horse over the fence.
   7. If you do not plan to take all of the jumps, ride with the hilltoppers.
   8. You have a duty to the people behind you to "keep contact" with the person immediately in front of you. In open fields you should fan out so that the tail end of the hunt can catch up and see hounds in action.
   9. Staff and hounds always have the right of way. When giving the right of way to the Staff or hounds, always turn your horse facing them.
  10. Indicate a hard-to-see hazard specifically: "Ware hole on left", "ware wire", etc. This should be done in a tone just lound enough to carry to the rider behind you. Do not indicate hazards which the person behind can see as well as you.
  11. If a member of the field falls, several riders should stay with him. The number will depend on circumstances. The staff will not stop the hounds, and the hounds, Staff, Field Master and riders in front of the fallen rider will continue to the next check. A senior member should take the members of the field behind the fallen rider (except for those lending assistance) to the next check.
  12. Make sure the last rider is safe at all times.
  13. Do not talk to the hounds or call them because an unfamiliar voice will distract or disturb them. Always face the hounds and give laggard hounds ample room to join their mates at a check.
14. Talking and idle chatter should be limited to the check after all hounds have been returned to the pack. This will permit the Huntsman and Staff to perform their duties without unnecessary distraction and will generally contribute to the enjoyment of everyone's sport.
  15. At a check keep reasonable distance from the pack so that Staff may control them.
  16. When leaving the field, always send word forward to the Field Master so he doesn't worry about an accident.
  17. At the end of the hunt, don't leave the field or dismount until the Field has been dismissed.
