About

Within The Cheshire Farmers all the masters make a point with dealing directly with our farmers and agree before any hunt which route they would prefer, we then use a runner to lay down the scent on the agreed route, Des Evans (The Runner), then uses his experience to run where the fow would go and therefore gives the field a good days hunting.

Many of these packs still continue and thrive today. Many additional packs have been formed during the past few decades - The North East Cheshire in 1958, the Angelesey in 1973, the Berks and bucks in 1974 and the Saddleworth (re-established) in 1985, the Cheshire Farmers was founded in 1992. The last five years have seen even more packs applying for registration.

Cheshire Farmers Drag Hunt was formed 15 years ago. We now hunt from Warrington down to Endon and from Tarporley to the Peak district including the flat plains of Cheshire. Everyday we hunt we cater for all levels of rider, from the beginner to the experienced and children alike. We hunt one day a week with the occasional bye day, with the current masters being Harry Harvey(MDH), David Harvey(MDH), Phillip Kelly(MDH),

Steve Evason(MDH), Damian Williams(MDH).

Lastly, but definitely most important, is the thanks that we give to all the farmers for their continued support, without them no hunts would survive. The Masters of Draghounds and bloodhounds Association (MDBA) was formed in 1997 following a merger between the old MDHA and the MBHA.

We aim to cater for all levels of riders, so there is always a way round, all jumps optional.
