The Junior North American Field Hunter Championship (JNAFHC) has the honor of being hosted by the Rocky Fork Headley Hunt in Gahanna, Ohio over the weekend of September 27, 2024. RFHH masters and a very enthusiastic crew of volunteers are already hard at work to make this a truly special event for all of the competitors, support teams, family and friends.
Hunts along the East Coast from Canada to Florida and as far west as Kansas hosted qualifiers in 2023-24! This program is designed to achieve several important goals. Number one is for juniors to come together, get to know each other, form friendships that may last a lifetime, and enjoy foxhunting. Seeing juniors embrace the sport is a vivid way to remind hunt members how important juniors are to preserving both foxhunting and the countryside. The JNAFHC has proven to be a valuable tool in encouraging more cooperation among hunt clubs, thus strengthening the bonds of foxhunting throughout the country. Juniors travel around to the different participating hunts, enjoy hunting in new territory, and learn about the different hound packs.
We encourage everyone who cares about the future of foxhunting to help support the JNAFHC. It's going to be a very exciting year as we look forward to the finals at Rocky Fork!
