Overview
Mission
The woodbrook hunt club's mission is to preserve and protect the centuries old sport of mounted foxhunting for future generations. The club works to educate horseback riders from other equestrian sports so that they can learn and join in a sport that is at the same time non-competitive as well as open to riders of many different levels of ability, backgrounds and means.
What it reported doing in 2025
Woodbrook hunt club provides year-round hunting activities for its members and guests in order to preserve and promote the sport of mounted foxhunting. Currently there are only five active hunts left in the western us so it's a critical mission for us, and we have one of the lowest membership dues rates in the country to keep the sport affordable for most riders, which is offset by year-round fundraising by the members. The mounted hunt season is october through april, we normally hunt twice a week and exercise hounds on two to three other days. To encourage new membership, we offer lease horses for hire and a low guest fee; we typically get between 8 to 15 new members a year from these activities. In addition, at least two hunts a year are "cap-free and we invite riders from other disciplines, like western riders to join us. We try and pair new members and guests with a chaperone so that they may feel comfortable and learn more about our sport. Whc's riding territory is located on a joint army and air force base, joint base lewis-mcchord, and military members join at a discounted rate. Through the woodbrook foundation, junior membership scholarships for the club are made available to families that otherwise could not afford to join in our sport. In the summer, the club puts on mounted trailrides and members are invited to help walk hounds out twice a week.
