The Annapolis Valley Hunt may have  less history than those in the United Kingdom, where they originated in the 16th century, but it follows many of the same traditions. Members are dressed in formal hunt attire, the stirrup cup (a drink of port or sherry) is shared prior to the hunt, and hunt etiquette and hierarchy are closely followed.    Please view our AVH Handbook to learn everything you need to know to join us in the hunt field.

Visitors are encouraged to come watch, photograph, and enjoy the hunts! Hunt dates are listed under Fixture Card, however, it is best to contact a hunt member in advance so that they can advise you of location changes,  best viewing locations and approximate times. Donations are always appreciated but are not necessary.
