Calling all equestrians, young and brave, to the 2026 Junior Foxhunter Program; proudly presented by the Ottawa Valley Hunt Club

A chance for equestrians age 21 & under to “ride to hounds”; a thrilling tradition. Combine your love for riding, nature, and horsemanship this year.

Hunting and the OVH

The Ottawa Valley Hunt (OVH) is a drag hunt, where we are privileged to ride cross-country over more than 1,000 acres of land.

Drag hunting is an equestrian sport in which mounted riders hunt the trail of an artificially-laid scent. In a drag hunt, the hounds have been trained to follow ("hunt") a prepared scent.

Drag hunting does NOT involve the hunting of live animals.
