Last Friday, The Pakuranga Hunt hosted a Seminar/Workshop for a group of 1st & 2nd season huntsmen from hunts all over the country, run through the NZ Hunts' Association. With refreshments provided by Nicola Scott, Anne Watts and Deputy Master Shayne Rieger, the day's learning was led by our huntsman Ryan Smith and Waikato Hunt's past huntsman Lauryn Robinson, assisted by our past huntsman Guy Marriner, as well as Craig Hurst ,Tim Speech, past Master Ivan Bridge and Joint Master Graham Shaw.
Topics covered included breeding programmes, animal husbandry, training the pack, hound shows, etc. We had a great turn out and lots of positive feedback from the attendees - it's good to see the future of hunting in New Zealand in good hands with this fresh talent coming through.
Thank you to the New Zealand Hunts Association for their support in running this ev

Our huntsman Ryan Smith, ably assisted by his partner Nicola Scott and Joint Master Graham Shaw, took the hounds for an outing at the Franklin A&P Show today. They were much admired by the crowd, both for their impeccable behaviour, as well as their friendly cuddles afterwards!

Pakuranga Hunt
The oldest Hunt in New Zealand, the Pakuranga Hunt, was established in 1872, with their imported hounds becoming the foundation of bloodlines here in New Zealand. Such an amazing atmosphere to be out hunting with the hounds. Thank you, Pakuranga Hunt, and their amazing secretary, Angenita Moore!
