Interested?

The Border HuntIf you are interested in a day with the Border Hunt, please contact our secretary, George Morrison, who will help you choose a suitable day and give you directions to the meet.
You don't need any fancy gear, just a hard hat and suitable clothing for the weather, although members usually wear traditional, practical hunt wear. Some of the Border hunting country can be soft and hilly, it takes a while for horses and riders to get used to this type of ground, but we will look after you and make sure you are guided across the countryside, and safely returned to your box when you are ready to head home!

Hirelings can be obtained from Lesley Douglas, Langlee Riding Stables, Langlee, Jedburgh. Telephone: 01835 862560, mobile: 07789 266233
