Clean Boot Hunting In Kent & East Sussex

The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex, with occasional forays into Essex. The  Coakham have been hunting "the clean boot" since they were founded in the 1970s.  This means the hounds follow the natural scent of human runners who set off ahead of the pack - no other scent is used (whether animal or synthetic) and there is no killing involved - the runners just get licked at the end of each hunt.

Dress: Smart casual riding wear - please be tidy and safe.  Ratcatcher not required.

We’ll be heading out across the beautiful Pevensey Marshes and around Herstmonceux Castle for a relaxed midweek ride with some rather fabulous views along the way. This one is deliberately steady and sociable - mostly walk and trot, with the odd canter where the ground allows.
