History of the Hunt

Start Year: 1987
End Year: N/A
History: The Hunt was formed from an amalgamation of the Bicester & Warden Hill and the Whaddon Chase at the commencement of the 1986-87 season. On 1st May 2003 the Bicester Hunt with Whaddon Chase was incorporated into a limited company, and for that purpose is known as Bicester and Whaddon Chase Limited. With effect from 19th February 2004, the Bicester and Whaddon Chase Hound Club was established and regular meets will be held during the season for hound exercise and line hunting. This will continue until the Hunting Act 2004 has been repealed. New kennels and stables have been built and were opened on 30th May 2008.

Hunt Country

Hunt Country: The country, which lies in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, is long and of irregular shape, stretching some 50 miles from near Daventry in the north to beyond Aylesbury in the south and 20 miles east to west. Adjoining Hunts: to the north the Pytchley; to the west the Warwickshire and Heythrop; to the south the Vale of Aylesbury with Garth & South Berks; and on the east the Grafton and Oakley. Although mainly plough country, there is much grass in the southern part, with flying fences and much timber. It needs a horse that can gallop, jump and stay, and get through the deep.
