The Smithtown Hunt Future of Foxhunting Junior Scholarship

Discover Foxhunting. Build Horsemanship. Join the Tradition.

The Smithtown Hunt Junior Scholarship is designed for young riders who are curious about foxhunting but have never had the opportunity to be members of a recognized hunt.

Open to riders under 18, the scholarship introduces juniors to the traditions, skills, and community of mounted hunting with hounds. Recipients will receive support and mentorship as they learn hunt etiquette, develop their horsemanship, and participate in the hunting season alongside experienced members of Smithtown Hunt.

Foxhunting offers young riders a unique opportunity to gain confidence, improve their riding, learn about conservation and land stewardship, and become part of a welcoming equestrian community.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to ride with hounds and experience the thrill of a hunt meet, this scholarship is your invitation to find out.
