The Hampshire Hunt, always known as the HH
dates from about 1745. In 1788 the Prince of Wales, while residing at
Kempshott, kept staghounds which, in 1793 were turned into foxhounds.
They hunted most of the northern portion of what is now the HH
country. In 1795 the Prince left Kempshott and gave up his hounds, and
the old Kilmiston Hunt, or original HH club, was dissolved.
On 25th April 1795 a meeting was held in
Winchester, and the club reformed. The country as now constituted has
existed since that date, and extends some 17 miles north to south, by
about 25 miles to the west.
The HH are very proud of the fact that they
are allowed to wear the Prince of Wales' feathers on their hunt
buttons. This privilege was granted to the Hunt in 1795, by the then
Prince of Wales, on the formation of the present Hunt Club.
THE KENNELS
The hounds and kennels at Ropley are owned by
the Hunt Club, largely unchanged from its formation, described above.
The club members have appointed 3 joint masters, whose duties are to
manage the everyday operations of the Hunt.
67 hounds, plus 20 puppies are in kennels and
the hunt owns 7 hunt horses, which are stabled adjacent to the
kennels.
The Hunt employs four men and two girls
full-time, and has one other part-time employee.

The country consists of an amalgamation of
areas formerly hunted by the Craven Farmers' Hunt and the Vine Hunts,
and covers part of west Berkshire, north Hampshire and a small part of
Wiltshire. The northern end of the country is made up of the open
Berkshire and Marlborough Downs, in great contrast to the more wooded
areas in the south. Obstacles are mostly timber hunt jumps.
Best centres: Lambourn, Newbury and
Kingsclere.
Adjoining Hunts: Old Berkshire, Garth and
South Berks, Hampshire (HH), Hursley Hambledon, Tedworth, Duke of
Beaufort's and VWH.
