Marlborough Hunt Club
MHC_MainTitle_Welcome

MHC_HomePage_1Located in Southern Maryland, The Marlborough Hunt Club territory takes in Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, and parts of Calvert and Charles counties. Established in 1936 by it’s first Master, Benjamin H. C. Bowie, and a core group of founding and charter members, MHC is dedicated to the tradition, camaraderie and sport of foxhunting.

Members enjoy their time together whether it’s riding their trusted mount at a hunt fixture, training a young horse on an off season trail ride, or cubbing with the young hounds by foot or bicycle in the Fall. It's a time to appreciate the beautiful countryside and one’s equine companion, as well as work the hounds. Each meet is ended with a traditional hunt breakfast where members enjoy each other's company and retell the events of the day’s sport .

Marlborough Member Going for Olympic Team in London 2012

mhc_valerie_colors.jpgThe Marlborough Hunt Club is proud to announce one of it's valued Whipper-in's, Valerie Vizcarrondo, is currently on the road to making the USA Olympic Equestrian Team for the London Olympics in 2012. She started off 2008 with a wonderful feature article on Saturday, January 12th in The Capital newspaper highlighting her horses Cosmo and Trickster (a.k.a. Trick), along with her quest to make the Olympic team.

valerieolympichorse.jpg Valerie, currently residing in Harwood, was a 1999 graduate of St. Mary's High School and valedictorian of her class at St. Mary's College of Maryland. She sat on her first horse at 6 weeks old and now competes in what is considered the most grueling of equestrian sports, Eventing, which encompasses three disciplines of riding: Dressage, Cross Country & Stadium Jumping. Just this past Spring ,Valerie won the CCI* at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA on her star horse, Trick. When she is not training her own horses for their Olympic journey, she also trains other people's horses, gives lessons, and foxhunts.
