The Hunt
The original Jersey Drag Hunt was formed circa 1884, possibly making this hunt amongst the oldest in the United Kingdom. With no foxes in the island, a drag hunt was the only obvious answer.

More recent times have seen the hunt kennels moved from Trinity Manor, where they were stationed for some thirty six years, to new, purpose built kennels at Hatherleigh, St Mary, home of Joint Master Stephen Arthur. These new kennels were the result of an arduous but successful fundraising campaign by hunt members, and were designed by our very own huntsman, Mark Evans.

Hunts are now held twice weekly on Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons, with the season running from early September (cubbing) until the end of February. Although Wednesday afternoons are not as well supported as Saturday mornings (due to modern day life work commitments) they are, however, still very popular with the stalwarts, who claim that “a good Wednesday line” simply cannot be beaten!
