South Creek Foxhounds is located in west central Florida (Tampa), and is Florida’s oldest foxhunt. Established in 1965 by the late Mr. Robert Thomas of Two Rivers Ranch, the hunt was recognized by the MFHA in 1972. Originally known as Two Rivers Hunt, the hunt moved from the Thomas Ranch over 10 years ago, and now has numerous fixtures in Pasco, Hernando, and Hillsborough Counties.

South Creek Foxhounds enjoys the chase from September through February of red and gray fox, bob cat, and the ever illusive, speedy coyote. We ride through pasture land, palmetto bushes, pine and oak forests, and cypress swamps. Our fences are primarily solid, inviting coops.

Our pack consist of cross bred fox hounds which are hunted by professional huntsman Robert Douglas. Robert is the son of B.C. Douglas, our first huntsman. B.C. still follows the hunt today in his truck.

We are proud to support the International Combined Driving Event at Little Everglades Ranch, The Combined Driving Event is held annually in late February in Dade City, Florida.

The season concludes with the hunt’s popular, All Florida Meet, which brings together riders and friends from near and far. The meet consist of three days of marvelous sport and camaraderie during the day, festive parties at night, a day of racing at Tampa Bay Downs and a festive Hunt Ball.

The hunt stays very active year round with trail rides, work days, hunter paces and social events. The hunt extends a warm welcome to visitors who want to join us when in Florida for vacation or business as well as those who are interested in finding out about our exciting sport.
