Although the composition is open to change, they are hoping to include the following horses in the parade:

Altior, Battaash, Coneygree, Shishkin and Sprinter Sacre

with grateful thanks to their Owners.

Programmes will be on sale (£5) at all car parks and yards.

There is a map inside, a programme of events, interesting articles, quizzes, pages of all the trainers with their horses and lots more plus many great colour photographs.

A collector’s item.

Bob travels the country with his team of working sheepdogs, working sheep, ducks, geese and even Paxo the cockerel.

Bob has had many local and national TV appearances, including Countryfile, The House of Tiny Tearaways, and Alan Partridge and has had the pleasure of presenting his show to both the British and Saudi Royal Families.

Child participation
Children are invited into the arena to help with a brightly coloured obstacle course while the dogs show their skill at guiding the ducks around the course.
 
An amusing commentary compliments this part of the show and the children and audience are both encouraged to join in.

Their hunt country covers part of West Berkshire, North Hampshire and a small part of East Wiltshire.

The north end of the country is made up of the open Berkshire and Marlborough Downs, in great contrast to the more wooded areas further south.

Most of their country is very open and therefore obstacles tend to be timber hunt jumps or ditches.

The main exception to the downland is the area east of the A339 where the country is closer, fields are small and normally bounded by ditches as well as thick hedges.

However, there is always an alternative way round if you wish.

Their mounted fields are not vast, typically 15 – 25 horses on a weekday and 20 – 35 on a Saturday.

Obviously Opening Meet, Boxing Day and some other meets attract larger fields.

They pride ourselves on being a very friendly and welcoming hunt.

The Vine & Craven Hunt was formed in 1968 by an amalgamation of the Craven Farmers’ Hunt and the Vine Hunt.

The kennels are located in Hannington, Hampshire.
