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 Chosen for MFHA Centennial Art Show

MFHA_Centennial_LogoThe 2007 MFHA Centennial year-long celebration of foxhunting was a wonderful opportunity to not only revel in our magnifice nt sport, but to get a piece of history that will not happen again for another 100 years! There were commemorative pieces of art on exhibit and for sale, beautiful books, special events and presentations throughout the year. For all the details visit http://mfha.org/.

MFHA_Valerie_ArtworkOver the past 100 years, foxhunting has inspired many wonderful paintings, drawings and sculptures. As a key component of the Centennial, the creation of new works of art has been encouraged. Cross Gate Gallery of Lexington, Kentucky has coordinated the selection of the works of art from a field of over 50 artists and has organized exhibits for the display and sale of these works at a variety of sites in 2007, including Saratoga, Palm Beach and Lexington, as well as many hunt locations. The Marlborough Hunt Club is proud to announce one of it's members, Vanessa Vizcarrondo, was chosen for her work "Watch out for the Ravine."

HuntBallVanessaResize2The Art Tour began in New York in January 2007 and made many stops throughout the year including the nearby cities of Baltimore, MD and Leesburg, VA.. Please check the Centennial Art Shows web page mfha.com/centennial_art.htm, and then go to the Cross Gate link www.crossgategallery.com to see the artists’ work and to make a purchase.  Proceeds help both the local artists as well as the MFHA.
