A properly turned-out field honors the landowners, shows them we take our sport seriously, and displays the appropriate spirit of tradition as they watch us ride by.

While attire is important to maintaining the history and tradition of our sport, the foremost reason for rules regarding attire are that of safety for the horse and rider.

M asters, officers, and staff endeavor to honor both the traditions of the sport and the practical considerations that help promote a safe and enjoyable day in the hunt field.
