TESTING - NOT LIVE - Junior North American Field Hunter Championships

JNAFHC Finals
Moore County Hounds
November 14 & 15, 2025
Southern Pines, North Carolina

Designed for Junior riders, 18 years old & younger, on appropriate 
foxhunting ponies and horses. 

The emphasis is on the junior rider and mount, with a focus on suitability for the young rider. It is a year long process which culminates with a special weekend planned for juniors, filled with great hunting, new & old friends, new territory, hounds, trophies, ribbons and prizes.

It is an opportunity for young people to be inspired by the countryside
and realize how important it is to do their best to protect it for
​future generations.
