Bull Run Hunt regularly runs three flights of mounted followers. First flight goes quickly and jumps (up to 3'3"), Second flight goes quickly immediately following First, Third flight is walk/trot and rarely a canter over short distances (depends on riders in field). We feel that we are a great hunt for juniors and new enthusiasts to "try out" foxhunting.
