THE WAYNE-DuPAGE HUNT
This
Hunt was recognized by the Masters of Foxhounds Association
in 1940 when a merger was formed between the Wayne Hunt and
the DuPage Hunt of Wheaton.
The Wayne-DuPage Hunt is a not for profit corporation and is
an entirely volunteer organization.
We hunt over private land, graciously provided by the
residents of Wayne and Amboy, and the DuPage County Forest
Preserve. The most important part of our ability to enjoy
hunting is the promotion, preservation and the continuing
relationship with our landowners and the Forest Preserve.
2010 HUNT SEASON
Starting
the season in August with the Wayne Area Conservancy
Foundation Open Trail Ride - a great way to get out and
enjoy the country with members and community riders.
August also provided the Joint Meet with the Hunt and the
Pony Club – such great young riders – looking towards the
future, the Pony Club riders will be a true blessing as
future Hunt members. This year, the Pony Club demonstrated
their ingenuity and put on a scavenger hunt that intrigued
all participants. The clues were the key!
September – the 76th annual Dunham Woods Horse
Show - a spectacular weekend of riding and fun.
October – Blessing and Opening Meet – always a huge
membership and community turnout at the church with the
foxhunt to follow.
Amboy hunting provided spectacular gallops over hills and
fields lined with trees showing off their autumn colors.
STIRRUP CUP
Each
Stirrup Cup is generously provided by Hunt members or
friends of the Hunt for the pleasure of the riding and
social members. Their hospitality and gourmet delights
beautifully end the hunt day.
