It's about the Hounds, Horses and Riding in Beautiful CountryOn a cool fall morning, the four beat staccato of hooves carry you out of the woods and into a field. As you crest a hill, trails through the heavy dew spread out in front of you, each created by one in the pack of foxhounds working together to find the scent that was strategically dragged for the hounds to follow. The tri-color hound strikes the scent and his cry rallies the rest of the pack, encouraged by the doubling of the huntsman’s horn. While this could easily be a tale from a century ago in England, members of the Long Lake Hounds experience it twice a week across a variety of locations in the west-metro.

The 4 Steps of Hunting is a clinic series that we’ve put together to help introduce new comers, and their horses to the sport of fox hunting. We invite all riders who have had fox hunting on their bucket list to come join us and learn more about the sport, meet the hounds and the wonderful people who love horses and hounds just as much as you do.

Our Mission
We are dedicated to preserving the sport of drag hunting in Minnesota. We train, care and love each of our unique hounds that are required for our sport to prosper. We welcome everyone who wants to share our passion for enjoying the beautiful country, riding their beloved horses and watching the hounds work as a pack. We are especially dedicated to offering an exciting experience for Pony Clubbers and juniors, people who have never tried hunting before and those who left the sport and want to come back. We welcome all types of horses and riders outside of the traditional English riding discipline, and we encourage people to watch and enjoy the beauty of the animals working together.
