Join our club for the annual Fox Chasing 101 Clinic. Fox Chasing 101 is a welcoming and low-pressure way to learn all about the tradition and excitement of our sport. Whether you are a junior rider, an adult new to the sport, or have a green horse ready for a new challenge, this clinic is the perfect place to start.

Over the course of four sessions held every weekend in September, participants will gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge. You are welcome to attend one session or all four. Those who complete all sessions will receive a cap certificate – your invitation to join us for one real hunt in October.

Even better – if you decide to join the Wicomico Hunt, your clinic fees will be applied toward your first year’s membership dues. Come learn and experience the thrill of riding to hounds in a supportive, educational environment!
