Welcome to the Hillsboro Hounds
Since 1932, the Hillsboro Hounds has been providing tis membership enjoyment
of the sport of mounted foxhunting.
In addition to this sport, we are active in preserving the
countryside, working with the Land Trust of Tennessee.
We also continue to provide volunteer support for putting on the
Iroquois Memorial Steeplechase, which was inaugurated by Hillsboro Hounds
Masters in 1941, Proceeds from
this steeplechase have gone to support the Monroe Carell, Jr.
Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University since 1981.
The Hillsboro Hounds is active year-round.
Our season begins with cubbing in September, and then formal hunting
is November through March. Other
activities include a hunter pace with terrier races, trail rides, and
numerous social events.
The territory of the Hillsboro Hounds consists of rolling fields, hills and
wooded trails. We chase
primarily coyote, with some read and grey fox, as well as bobcat.
Our pack of crossbred hounds is ably hunted by professional huntsman
of 30 years, Johnnie Gray. We
provide 3 flights to accommodate riders of all levels.
We also have an active group of car followers.
Guests are welcome. If
