Opening Meet 2025

South Creek Foxhounds Opening Meet

Opening Meet is a special time for foxhunters to share and celebrate with friends, family, landowners, and other hunt supporters. It marks the official beginning of a new hunting season. Those involved have spent the summer and fall training young hounds, conditioning horses (and people), clearing trails, repairing and installing jumps. South Creek Foxhounds Opening Meet is always held on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving.

By tradition, these festivities include: The Stirrup Cup, the Blessing of the Hounds, the awarding of St. Hubert Medals, the Hunt, followed by a catered Hunt Brunch and socializing. Non-riding guests are welcome to attend and follow on a “Tally Ho” vehicle. Proper attire is requested.
