    Come meet the Hounds of the Smithtown Hunt!

    Join us for a unique opportunity to meet the hounds of the Smithtown Hunt! Enjoy a "behind the scenes" tour of the kennel led by our very own Joint Master and Huntsman, Christa Duva, MFH. Learn about the history and tradition of the working hounds and their role in the hunt field.

    Our Junior Program & Recruitment Leader, Kerry Ruggi, will talk about our upcoming junior events, share experiences as a junior rider, and explain more about our scholarship opportunities (applications open, deadline July 31!). Learn more here https://smithtownhunt.com/scholarships.

    Refreshments provided and prizes awarded for anyone able to memorize and recite all the hounds names, sound off the best horn call with the Huntsman’s horn or crack the Whipper-ins whip the best at the end of the event! Grab your barnmates, IEA teammates, Pony Clubbers, friends and family for this amazing event.
