The Farmington Hunt kennels and clubhouse are located in northwestern Albemarle County near Free Union. Our territory encompasses not only the rolling hills and fields at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where we have followed hounds since 1929, but also reaches into historic southern Albemarle along the Hardware and James rivers. Our country’s diverse terrain presents constant opportunity for great sport with a wide variety of riding experiences.

April 2012
It was a very good year! This past season was one of the best in recent memory. Thanks go to Daron, Alison, Tommy and all the staff, the Masters, the hounds and the landowners. It takes a village and we have a very good one.
As your Board has worked hard to maintain the club’s strong foundation and continued institutional health, we have had to make various adjustments. We are truly fortunate to have such great people on our staff and in our membership. Our club is very indebted to all who lend their support in so many ways. We go into next year knowing that we need a major fundraiser and work on the plans for this is well underway. The full report will be made at the annual meeting on Wednesday April 25th at the Clubhouse.
Members are encouraged to attend the annual meeting. You have received notice of the nominees for the Board and our new Treasurer. We sincerely thank Beth Sutton, Liz King, Ken Chapman and Jim Bourie for their dedicated service over the last three years. If elected our new Treasurer will be Thoma Johnson and new Board members will be Stephanie Guerlain, Kip Holloway, and George Lindbeck. We urge your support for these candidates.
In May we will host a Piedmont Environmental Council presentation on land and wildlife conservation. This directly affects everyone who hunts, shoots, fishes, bird watches or walks. Please turn out to support this initiative. Look for more information on this soon.
We hope to see you this spring and summer .For details about horse shows, trail rides and social events to enjoy at our hunt club, check out our new Events calendar.
Best Wishes,
Reynolds
