HUNTING ETIQUETTE:
Showing good sport is the objective of the Master, deputy master, huntsman and whips. To achieve this certain conduct is required. While promoting good sport it is also their desire to encourage caution as is necessary to ensure the safety of riders and mounts.
1. The Master represents the authority of Master of Hounds. Follow
the Master’s instructions. Listen carefully for announcements.
2. Be ready to move off on time so that the Master may announce
any special conditions for the day
3. The etiquette (riding order) of the field is hounds, huntsman, whippers-in, Master, deputy master, ladies, gentlemen, children.
4. Maintain a safe distance between your horse and others. Do not crowd jumps or cross in front of other riders. Ride straight and collected at all fences.
5. If your horse has a refusal, go immediately to the rear and wait your turn again.
6. If your horse is a kicker, tie a red ribbon on the tail and ride out
of the way to avoid accidents.
7. Report any damage to fences, including stretched wires, to the
Master or his deputy. Please shut all gates.
8. If you retire from the field early, let the Master know.
9. Stay for afternoon tea so you will be present when the Master
thanks the property owners for the privilege of hunting over their
land – it is a very great privilege indeed. Please wear hunting attire.
Conditions of Entry:
By paying a capping fee before a Hunt, the rider (person) is accepting the Otago Hunt Inc. and property owner conditions of entry and is indemnifying the Otago Hunt Inc. and property owners under the provisions of the Health and Safety Employment Act 1993.
