To the subscribers of the Tennessee Valley Hunt, foxhunting can best be described as PASSION.  Everyone who participates has been caught up in the passion of this ancient sport.

Foxhunting permits us to forget our daily responsibilities and to gallop over fields and fences that we would never have the opportunity to gallop over if not for this sport--a sport which binds people to horses and  horses to hounds and all of us to the land.

Foxhunting provides those fleeting moments of total abandonment--of wind in your hair, bugs in your teeth kind of living.  At its best, it is totally out of our control. Hounds are screaming, hooves are thundering, the horn is blasting and we are covering country we would never otherwise have the nerve to cover at such speed.

At its worst, foxhunting offers a day in the countryside away from the bustle of real life.  For those with the passion for it, foxhunting is a lifestyle.  It is a win/win situation.

Foxhunters with the Tennessee Valley Hunt are thankful for this sport which brings us together.  It is with warm hearts and a grateful spirit that we toast our families, our friends, horses, hounds, and a good running fox.

We welcome you to do the same.
