I went out with the Readyfield last year for £35. Is this a standard price or would it be more to hunt with a foxhound pack?

Its probably best to ring the secretary of the hunt you want to go with. Hunt caps vary alot.

Yes give the sec a ring. Albrighton is about £50 but it depends who you go with, week day or saturday, and venue. PC was cheaper and we used to do gates and go free.

The Fitzwilliam charge £55 for a visitor's cap for a full day during main season - this will start at 11am and they rarely pack up until dark so could be 7hrs in the saddle. We also have reductions for those who are under 25. It works out cheaper to buy the subscription if you intend to hunt every day of the season or the bulk of them, plus autumn hunting mornings will be free once you are a full member.
Remember that hounds and hunt horses need to be fed, the hound lorry needs diesel, the staff need paying, vets' bills need paying, uniforms need buying etc etc etc. Subscriptions and caps, go someway to making up the shortfall, but I can assure you that it is not about profiteering.

It's great and worth every penny, the rides can be great, covering land that only a tractor would only be able go to. Year 4 for me, and I now subscribe. A convert from the ban!!

I think some of the big hunts charge a bit much - I go with the Cambridge Drag Hounds. They charge £30 a day but £15 for Pony Club and students.

I used to hunt with the Cottesmore in Leics and for a "high Tuesday" I think it was around £150 per day for a visitor.
Have to say for value for money and sheer great fun Cambridge Uni Draghounds were the best - have you been to Great Giddings for that day JH58. Bl**dy amazing day!!!

The CUDH do have the advantage of having a small enough pack to kennel with the beagles, which cuts their outgoings, nor do they run a flesh round and they only employ one professional (jointly with the beagles)
I hope you enjoy the jumps around Gidding Grove, I helped build those!

you can have a meet card for £5 and £1 sometimes if there is a cap or £2 for a coffee morning and be out for 6-7 hours

Loved the hedges - such fun. Stephen Hill, who used to be my farrier, was fieldmastering and my OH came out on a pointer and we flew all afternoon. Seriously good fun!!

I never mentioned anything about profiteering :confused:
I was merely suprised at the amount some hunts charge.

Our local hunt has gone up to £65.00 but if you subscribe then it works out cheaper, but then again you need to make full use of it, they do offer a Saturday only (half sub) which is useful for us lot that have to work in the week :grin:

And I was merely explaining why the cap payment might seem excessive...
