Holstone Bloodhounds
The Hunt The Hunt was formed in 1990 after a visit to the Farmers Bloodhounds in the Cotswolds to assess the potential of the sport. A foundation pack of hounds was purchased and is the first bloodhound pack in Ireland hunting the clean boot.
The country runs from Larne to Parkgate over mixed farmland with stone walls , banks, ditches and hunt jumps. Hounds hunt the clean boot. Hounds are on full cry for long periods so three quarters or full thoroughbred horse is required to stay in touch. The Hunt is very popular with farmers as the quarry can by pass coops, stock, wire and other restricted areas, thus accommodating the current changes in farming practice. Registered country is Co Antrim.
