About Hunting

“Every Hunt Tells a Story of Unity and Respect.”

A Tradition Built on Respect and Purpose

Hunting at the Sydney Hunt Club is a partnership of rider, horse, and hound — built on respect, discipline, and care for the countryside.

Guided by Responsibility

Each hunt follows strict ethical standards to protect land and wildlife.

Rooted in Tradition

Generations of riders carry forward values of respect, courage, and sportsmanship.

Impact of Foxes on the Environment

Foxes are among Australia’s most destructive invasive species, threatening native wildlife and rural ecosystems. The Sydney Hunt Club supports conservation efforts aimed at managing fox populations and restoring natural balance to the countryside.

Threat to Native Wildlife

Foxes prey on small mammals, birds, and reptiles — disrupting native biodiversity.

Agricultural Damage

Farmers face losses each year from livestock attacks and disrupted grazing habitats.

Conservation Collaboration

We work alongside landowners and environmental groups to promote sustainable control measures.
