It's about the Hounds, Horses and Riding in Beautiful Country

​On 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.

Join us for a weekend of fall colors and horse rides!  On Saturday, our Poker Run is a casual ride through a beautiful course where you'll pickup cards at different check points.  At the end, open your cards and reveal your poker hand. 
​Then come back on Sunday and join us on the same course where you and your team (2-4 riders) will try to match the pace set by our staff as if they were hunting.
Do one or both events for a weekend of memorable rides!

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.
