Tipperary Foxhounds
Description
Formed in 1820, "The Tipps" are one of Ireland's oldest and most prestigious packs of foxhounds. The Tipperary Foxhounds, known locally as "The Tipps", are Ireland's only remaining pack that hunt four days a week. Throughout the hunting season, which runs from the start of November to the end of February each year, the hunt meets every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 11am. Visitors are always welcome and if you are interested in joining us for a day of sport in some of Ireland's best hunting country, please contact hunt secretary, Aiden Fogarty on +353 87 6854597.
In addition to regular hunting, the Tipperary Foxhounds also organise a number of social events throughout the year. These include Point to Point meetings which are held twice a year at our track in Lisronagh, our annual Hunt Ball in February and our hunter trails held near Cahir each Easter.
Ranging between Dundrum in the North, Clonmel in the South, Kilfeacle in the West and Ballintaggert in the East, the Tipperary's hunting country is one of the largest in Ireland and is spread across a large part of Ireland's prime agriculture area known as the Golden Vale. At the heart of the region lies Fethard, the epicentre of Ireland's bloodstock and horseracing industry, Coolmore, the world's premier thoroughbred studfarm and world famous pub, McCarthy's Hotel.
The terrain crossed is extremely varied and exciting, ranging between grassland, tillage, forest, scrub and bog, whilst surrounded by some of Ireland's most stunning scenery. Jumping efforts mainly consist of natural single and double-faced Irish banks but riders can also expect to encounter open drains, stone walls, timber fences, gates and wire. Different meets/locations will cater to different levels of experience for both horse and rider, from the most novice to the most experienced.
Currently made up of 51 couple of Modern English Foxhounds, the pack is kennelled at Tullamaine, just outside Fethard.
