You would be amazed what just 15 minutes of trotting a day will do for a horse. There is a good article on www.foxhuntva.com about conditioning hunters and what different breeds, like TB vs Half draft, need to get ready.
Check it out.


Hunt Policy, Etiquette & Protocol


Cross Country Schooling Course Open Everyday at Loch Moy Farm


A word about Professional Photographers at our events. Opening Day is a fundraiser for the club and the traditional grand opening of our sport, it takes place on private property with private citizens. If you plan to market your work to our members via the Internet or in any other way where there is a fee involved you will need to make arrangements with the club. We recommend a contribution to the NM-MVH Kennel Fund, in other words pay a vendor fee like you would expect to do at a horse show or trade show. Sale of images for commercial use such an ads, magazines etc. would require individual member model releases. Please contact the Field Secretary at the meet for details.

A word about Amateur Photographers. If your photos are for your own purposes or for free distribution to members (not over a commercial photo share website where a fee is charged) you are welcome to take as many shots as you like. If you get some good ones it would be nice to provide a couple of your best photos to the club for our albums. If this is the case please mail prints to:
NM-MVH, 1600 Marker Road, Middletown MD 21769. To send digital photos to for that purpose please go to the www.nm-mvh.com and use the e-Mail contact button in the right hand column.


Hunt Club Grounds, From Jimmy Farber:


Please accept this as a gentle reminder that use of the hunt club grounds for private (not hunt club) equestrian activities should be coordinated through Jim Farber Jr. who runs the boarding operation at the kennels. The ring, jumps, barn and fields are maintained and reserved for use of his current boarders and, unless it is hound walking or another NM-MVH event, permission should be sought and a release should be signed, just as if you were visiting someone else's boarding establishment. So, please contact Jim if you would like to use his facilities for any reason: 301-471-8994.

 

ALWAYS CHECK THE MONITOR!
