OVH Junior Hunt and JNAFHC Qualifier

Ottawa Valley Hunt (OVH) invites riders 21 years of age and under to come experience our drag hunt with hounds on Saturday, October 4. This is a great opportunity to broaden horizons and to try something new both for the horse and rider. Did you know that juniors can ride as guests with us up to three times a year and that OVH’s membership fees are greatly reduced for juniors and even free for juniors who qualify for our junior program? The cost is $25/junior. Note that Juniors who have not been cleared to hunt on their own by a master must be accompanied by a coach/instructor (free) or chaperone ($25).

This hunt is also a qualifier for the Junior North American Field Hunter Championships. The finals will take place on November 14 & 15, 2025 at Moore County Hounds, Southern Pines, North Carolina. The qualifiers are open to hunt members who were 18 years or younger as of August 1, 2024 and who have hunted min. 5 times and participated in min. 3 hound events this year. Note that the juniors must qualify with the horse that they are planning to ride at the finals.
