Green Creek Hounds will be hosting

"Goodnight Ladies"

at the Tryon Theater

Monday, September 26th, 2022

at 6:30 PM.

"Goodnight Ladies" is about Mrs. John B. Hannum III, MFH of Cheshire Foxhounds, and the second longest tenured MFH in the Masters of Foxhounds Association history. The movie will be followed by a Question & Answer period from her grand-daughter and movie producer, Christi Hannum. Mrs. John B. Hannum's legacy is the land she helped create and conserve for foxhunting, the traditions she protected, and the hunt that still lives today as one of America's best and strongest. This is a great opportunity for foxhunters to come together and learn from our history. I grew up hunting with Mrs. Hannum. She taught me to love hunting. Everyone is invited - Seating is limited. After the movie, there will be a reception at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House. 

On Tuesday, September 27th, Green Creek Hounds is waiving Cap Fees, and inviting all those that attended the movie, to go hunting with us in our country. This is a "special" hunt, as we hunt on Thursday and Sunday.

Tickets are being sold on-line, in advance.

2023 Rig Gig Video 

What is a Rig Gig?

The Tryon Hounds is proud to present the Trip Hoffman Memorial Riding Scholarship for fox hunting enthusiasts in Polk, Henderson, Rutherford, Spartanburg, and Greenville counties for the 2022-2023 hunt season.

Fox hunting has been a part of the areas culture for nearly one-hundred years and enjoyed by equestrian enthusiasts who appreciate the sport and tradition. This scholarship helps ensure the sports place within the community for future generations by assisting with membership dues. Trip Hoffman was a Tryon resident and beloved riding member of the Tryon Hounds for decades. He also served on the Tryon Hounds Board of Directors and was the hunt club’s social committee chairman for many years.

"We are grateful to the Hoffman family for providing the seed money that helped to establish this fund”, said Bonnie Lingerfelt, Joint Master of the Tryon Hounds. "It is a wonderful way to honor Trip and support his love for the Tryon Hounds and the long-standing tradition of riding to hounds". For an application and eligibility requirements please visit https://tryonhounds.com/support/trip-hoffman-memorial-fund

Application deadline for 2022/2023 hunting season is September 14, 2022. The winning applicant(s) will be chosen by Tryon Hounds Masters, Huntsman and President of the Board of Directors. All donations to the fund are welcome and will be recognized on the Tryon Hounds website. Donations can be mailed to the Tryon Hounds c/o The Trip Hoffman Memorial Fund, PO Box 112, Tryon NC 28782.

Congratulations!!!

John Boyle 

for correctly answering last weeks

trivia question.

What is the season called before the formal fox hunting season where the field will hunt in order to give new hounds, new riders, and new horses experience? According to the Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America the correct answer is Capping or Autum Hunting. 

French for “training”, what name is given to a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an art sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery?

If you or your business would like to sponsor Trivia for a month email foothillshorsereport@gmail.com for more information.

Great advertising opportunity
