The Cheshire Farmers Drag Hunt was formed 15 years and now hunts from Warrington down to Endon and from Tarporley to the Peak District including the flat plains of Cheshire. Everyday we hunt we cater for all levels of rider, from the beginner to the experienced and children alike. We hunt one day a week with the occasional bye day, with the current masters being Harry Harvey(MDH), David Harvey(MDH) and Charles Finney(MDH).
Within The Cheshire Farmers all the masters make a point with dealing directly with our farmers and agree before any hunt which route they would prefer, we then use a runner to lay down the scent on the agreed route, Des Evans (The Runner), then uses his experience to run where the fox would go and therefore gives the field a good days hunting.

We hunt from September through till march with a good mounted field and many who simply coming out on foot to enjoy watching our hounds work on the scent. Through this we have developed into one of the leading drag hunts in the country, with one of our masters on the committee representing the governing body in london, The Masters Of Drag Hound & Bloodhound Association.
Lastly but definatly most important is the thanks that we give to all the farmers for their continued support, without them no hunts would survive.The Masters of Draghounds and Bloodhounds Association (MDBA) was formed in 1997 following a merger between the old MDHA and the MBHA.

It now represents all draghound and bloodhound hunting in Great Britain, along with some packs in Southern Ireland. Draghunting involves the pursuit of a pack of hounds following an artificial scent laid down by a runner or mounted rider earlier in the day.The route usually takes the following mounted horseback riders over a variety of jumps including both Hunt built fences and natural obstacles such as stone walls, hedges, ditches and farmer's fences.Contrary to popular belief, draghunting is not a new sport. Oxford University was one of the first to form a drag hunt closely followed by Cambridge University. The Household Brigade formed a drag hunt in 1863, the Royal Artillery at Woolwich in 1866 and the the Staff College and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1869.

Many of these packs still continue and thrive today. Many additional packs have been formed during the past few decades - The North East Cheshire in 1958, the Anglesey in 1973, the Berks and Bucks in 1974 and the Saddleworth (re-established) in 1985, the Cheshire Farmers was founded in 1992. The last five years have seen even more packs applying for registration.
