What do we do?
We use an organised quarry, (a person laying a scent) to produce a mock hunt, which is enjoyed by horse riders, foot followers and hunting enthusiasts.
We endeavor to keep the tradition of hunting a pack of hounds, within the law, however challenging it maybe, and not forgetting our roots, nor our forefathers, who developed hunting into the forms we know and understand..
The importance to us, is about keeping the bloodlines and gene pools available for the next generation to use, in it's purity or to improve other bloodlines, in whatever form Hunting will take in the future.
Aligned to this, are social commitments, to creating a new riding scene and social calendar which is accessible to everyone without prejudice or politics.
Our aim in 2009, will be to educate young followers, people, who in the past, found hunting morally unacceptable and those who believe the kill , is the product of good hunting.
From day to day, we feel our work is important, but during 2008, we were humbled by meeting a number of local charities and good causes , who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others. This has spurred us on to raise more money next year.
We donate a minimum of 10% from all caps and donations received.
We meet on Saturdays at 4pm in September for hound training. A list of September meets is on a later page. Opening meet is Sunday October 4th at 12 noon at Emlyn Arms, Newcastle Emlyn. A full meet card is available please, contact the Masters, Rob & Julie on 07932447706 or e-mail on westwalesfarmersbloodhounds@hotmail.com. From opening meet onwards we meet at 12noon on Sundays.
If any one is interested in hosting a meet, please let us know.
