A calendar of events sponsored by hunts or of interest to foxhunters (hunter paces, point-to-points, etc.)
Foxhunting is under serious attack in Britain, and this official British government site details the status of the inquiry into whether it should be banned. Take note of it. Unfortunately, fads and frenzies so while this applies only to Britain, there is always the danger of it spreading to other places. The official inquiry has been completed, so this site is no longer accepting input, but it's still worth looking at to get an accurate report on the actual status, since much of the information available in the media has been slanted.
Probably the best directory of foxhunting links you'll find anywhere. The Open Directory Project is a new approach to creating some semblance of order from the chaos of the World Wide Web. As the web grows and becomes more unwieldy, search engines yield hundreds of irrelevant results, and commercial directories become woefully outdated. ODP's goal is to provide a comprehensive, current directory by relying on an army of dedicated volunteer editors, each of whom is editing a category which interests him/her.
directory does an amazing job of constantly adding new sites.

They don't chase foxes, and they don't ride horses, so how did a beagle pack sneak in here? Well, they're in Kentucky (Crestwood, near Louisville), and I've had the pleasure of hunting with them when they visit this part of the state. And even for a hunt-to-ride person like myself, following this pack on foot is a wonderful experience.
