Aiken Course Inspection The Aiken race course was inspected on March 13, 2016 by Clerk of Course Russ Schwalbert, and Jill Thomas, Sam Slater and Anne Pezzano. Turf: Bermuda over seeded with rye grass. Turf is nice and thick and very smooth. Smoothness: Recently rolled, overall smooth. Compaction: 90 (Good) overall. Harder on car crossings, softer on the turf. Moisture: 3 (Average Dry) Notes: Due to continuing construction on the infield show grounds, vehicle crossings are quite hard.

Jockey Impact Test All NSA jockeys who received an email regarding Impact testing are urged to contact the NSA office to schedule and complete the required Impact test before the 2016 spring racing season. Training Flat Races Three-year-olds will receive 10 lbs from older horses in all Training Flat races during the spring. Also, Apprentice steeplechase jockeys will be allowed 5 lbs. NSA Policy A non-winning apprentice jockey (over hurdles) shall not be named to ride a horse (over hurdles) that has failed to complete three races to the stewards’ satisfaction. NSA Weight Policy In all allowance and open hurdle races at NSA race meets, weights will be adjusted upward when the high weight is scratched at scratch time. Amendment to NSA Licensing Rule Effective for the 2016 season, Rule 6.1.H of the NSA Rules of Racing has been amended to read as follows: "Rule 6.1.H: License Restrictions, Limitations and Conditions. The Board, or the Stewards' Advisory Committee may restrict, limit or place conditions on any license, including, without limitation, restrictions on duration, number of permitted starts, or the types of races a licensee may contest (e.g. flat, hurdle or timber). Any licensee granted such a restricted license may apply to the Stewards' Advisory Committee for modification or removal of any such conditions, which decision shall be subject to the discretion of the Board or the Stewards' Advisory Committee." Under this rule, the Stewards' Advisory Committee will continue to approve the issuance of unrestricted licenses to professional and amateur riders (as now defined), but will require all new and relatively inexperienced applicants for riders' licenses to demonstrate the ability to compete satisfactorily over flat, timber and/or hurdle courses in order to receive an unrestricted license. If the Committee is not satisfied that a rider has demonstrated such capabilities, or if the rider desires only to compete in selected races (e.g. flat or timber), he or she may be issued a restricted license which permits competition only over the designated course(s). Any questions about this new rule or its application in a particular situation should be directed to Dwight Hall. Important Notice from the Stewards Advisory Committee By order of the NSA Board of Directors upon recommendation of the NSA Stewards Advisory Committee, the proposed new NSA Amateur Rider Policy advertised on the Wednesday, February 3, 2016 official notices, has been rescinded. Despite a thorough 45-day review and input from several concerned licensees, it has been made clear to the Stewards Advisory Committee that a change to the standard NSA policy, which requires an applicant to sign the Amateur Declaration on the Jockey’s License Application, would be confusing, counterproductive, and unnecessary at this time. With that in mind, the Committee has determined that there will be no change to the current NSA rule or policy as each relates to amateur riders. Furthermore, an applicant signing the Amateur Declaration on the Jockey’s License Application is hereby notified that any falsification of this declaration will subject the applicant to a revocation of his/her license. Also, all owners and trainers securing the services of an amateur rider are hereby reminded that any compensation or remuneration paid for the services of an amateur rider is in violation, by definition, of NSA Rules. Iroquois Criteria for Amateur Riders Amateur: Is licensed by the NSA as an amateur rider; has ridden less than 20 races in 2015; full time students who are less than 23 years old will be exempt from the Amateur criteria. ● Licensed amateur riders who do not meet the above criteria may apply to the Iroquois Race Committee for permission to ride as an amateur. ● All riders/entries acceptable to the Race Committee and the Race Committee reserves the right to reject entries. Eligibility for Amateur Apprentice Timber Races The Amateur Timber series (My Lady's Manor, Grand National, Winterthur and Willowdale) eligibility should read: NW of $12,000 once in 2015-2016. Also, for the Grand National (#28), Winterthur (#61) and Willowdale (#72) races in the series, winners in 2016 will carry 5 lbs. extra. Substitute Races Aiken (Maiden Claiming Hurdle) Purse $15,000.

Brown Advisory Iroquois Cheltenham Challenge Win Two Races, Win Half-A-Million Dollars! In 2016 -- just in time for its 75th anniversary -- the Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville, Tenn., announced its partnership with the world-famous Cheltenham Racecourse in England to offer a $500,000 bonus challenge to any horse that can win both the Group 1 Ryanair World Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and the 75th Anniversary Grade 1 Calvin Houghland Iroquois Hurdle Stakes in May. The bonus will be offered to any horse that wins both races within the space of 12 months, opening the door to horses who are even placed at Cheltenham this March to make the trip to Tennessee in May and if winning there, try to gain the bonus at The Festival in March, 2017. The Brown Advisory Iroquois Cheltenham Challenge looks to reignite the cross-Atlantic rivalry that has been a part of steeplechase racing through history, and this challenge is a significant one. To learn more about the Brown Advisory Iroquois Cheltenham Challenge, visit www.iroquoissteeplechase.org/about. “Throughout modern history, a number of great horses have crossed the Atlantic to race, and we want to promote that international competition. This is a new tradition with significant implications – a successful horse could earn more than $850,000 by winning both races, considering their individual purses and the Brown Advisory Cheltenham Iroquois Challenge.” — Iroquois Steeplechase Chairman Dwight Hall, a former jockey and board member of the National Steeplechase Association Don't miss the 75TH IROQUOIS STEEPLECHASE Nashville's Rite Of Spring Since 1941 May 14, 2016 (Left to right) Cheltenham Racecourse Chairman Robert Waley-Cohen, legendary jockey and owner Charlie Fenwick, and Brown Advisory CEO Mike Hankin.

So if you are hunting, hound walking, trail riding, hunter pacing, schooling, horse showing, or poker riding, please wear protective head gear and make certain your guests do the same. We can not function without our insurance coverage.

  • Of Hounds and Horses
    OF Hounds AND Horses The Fox River Valley Hound Heritage Foundation Continues a Legacy of Land Preservation and Country Pursuits On October 1, 2017 at Barrington Hills Farm, members of the Fox River Valley Hunt gather to ride to hounds following the annual Blessing of the Hounds. In front, Highland Bagpiper Trey Higgins plays for the procession. MFH Tony Leahy leads with the Massbach Hounds and a field of mounted riders ready to follow. Following victory in the Revolutionary War, in 1783, General Lafayette sent General Washington 26 couples of large French Staghounds which were used by Washington for foxhunting. The General’s favorite mount, ac- cording to Custis, was a blue roan horse called “Buckskin” while “Billy” Lee the huntsman rode “Chinkling”, a great jumper, and carried a French horn, which was presumed to be a compliment to General Lafayette. Even after the War, the Eastern States, mostly settled by Europeans, kept some aspects of their former lives in their new surroundings. The settlers were from all walks of life, including the aristocracy, and continued their traditions of hunting on horseback with their packs of hounds, their quarry originally being the stag. It was the ordinary farmer who had pursued the fox, which, in the British Isles had no natural predators, and were considered vermin from which no chicken, duck, or goose was safe. For the wealthy, their ships had brought the accoutrements of a com- fortable life to the colonies, including furniture, fabrics, silver, and crystal, George Washington hunts with his mentor, Lord Fairfax. and, as time went by, hounds, horses, and even red foxes.

The course was sprayed for weed control on March 2. The course was mowed on March 16 and 17. The turf is starting to green up. Hopefully, over the next 2 weeks we can get some moisture and if the weather stays mild, it should look good on race day. Smoothness: The course was very wet when we had the Colonial Cup races. The fences have been set out on fresh ground that was not run over last fall. The course is smooth throughout. Compaction: 100-120 (Good) throughout the course. Moisture: 4-6 (Average Dry-Average) throughout the course. Notes: We could stand a rain shower or two between now and the races. We have had just ¾ inch of rain in the last 3 weeks. The weather has been warm and mild.

  • Master of Foxhounds Association Seavington Hunt
    Master of Foxhounds Association Seavington Hunt Hunt Country The country lies in Dorset and Somerset. Best centres: Bridport, Beaminster, Crewkerne, Martock and Langport. Hunt History This pack was originally Harrier, established in 1863 by Tom Naish. Owing to the War, the Hunt was dormant from 1941-45, but from 1945-50 Captain A.H. Daniel hunted the northern part of the old Seavington country. The southern portion, south of the Crewkerne-Chard road, was hunted from 1946 to 1950 by Mr. B.K. Ronald (Mr. Ronald's Hounds). American Russell Terrier Club – History of the Breed The Warwickshire (North) hunt used terriers (14-18 lbs.) which were short-legged with a rough coat type favored by the Rev. Jack Russell. These terriers were bred by Mr. S. T. Holland, who has been reported to have bred these terriers since 1903. His kennels were originally founded by Mr. Victor Cartwright, most of which died in World War. The strain was restored in 1919 by breeding three bitches each owned by Col. Fuller, M. F. H., Mr. Rawle of Porlock, and Maj. Jackson M. F. H. to an unnamed dog of similar type, presumably of a working strain. One of these terriers “Tiger" was sold to the Chagrin Valley Hunt, U. S. A. In the 40's and 50's surrounding the Warwickshire Hunt there were seven hunts total. Atherstone: no preference as long as it worked. Bicester and Wardenhill: Small fox terriers. Cotswolds: Non-pedigree Jack Russell Terriers. Hethrop: Fox terrier x border cross. Worcestershire: Sealyham x fox terrier. The Foway Harriers and the Seavington Hunt, covering 224 miles square of Dorset and Somerset countryside.

  • Tennessee Valley Hunt 2018 Hunt Ball Live Auction Items
    Tennessee Valley Hunt 2018 Hunt Ball Live Auction Items BLACKBERRY FARM BREWERY TOUR AND TASTING What’s Brewing…at the Blackberry Farm Brewery? Award winning beers are brewing…..that’s what!!!! The Blackberry Farm Brewery won gold at the World Beer Cup 2016 for its Classic Saison in the French and Belgian-Style Saison category. Held every two years, the World Beer Cup is often referred to as “The Olympics of Beer Competitions.” And, you don’t have to travel all the way to South Korea to meet these Gold Medal Athletes!! The Blackberry Farm Brewery’s flagship beer, Classic Saison beat 115 other French and Belgian-Style Saisons to win the gold. The World Beer Cup is widely known as the most prestigious beer competition in the world. In 2016, 6596 beers were entered from 1,907 breweries from 55 countries for 96 beer styles. 2 Five couples will deep dive into the Blackberry Farm Brewery offerings including tasting six beers from both the Blackberry Farm cellar collection; as well as, new releases. Combined with the “oh so delicious” artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and other delights, you will not want to miss this behind-the-scenes exclusive tour. All of the beers are packaged unfiltered and go through a 100% bottle re-fermentation which produces natural effervescence and makes them suitable for cellaring. The Blackberry Farm beers take longer to ferment while taking their own sweet time in the bottle building the natural carbonations we all love. Whether it is celebrating a special occasion, pairing with fine food, or just “chillin” while enjoying the day, the right beer is the perfect complement to mark life’s moments both big and small.
