I wondered if anybody could clarify what a confined hunt is with respect to entry. The rule states.....Third Priority – Entries submitted by the Master, Member, Subscribers of the Hunts confined (as per Point-to-Point regulations) to the Hunt staging the Race. Thanks in advance

I wondered if anybody could clarify what a confined hunt is with respect to entry. I was really after a simple explanation as to what a confined hunt was...

Many years ago the concept was called Adjacent Hunts and the maidens were usually restricted in that manner. However, adjacent meant what it said and the number varied from hunt to hunt. The East Kent, for example, has very few adjacent hunts. The rules were changed, therefore, to refer to confined hunts which usually means a number of relatively local hunts which will include, but not be limited to, all the adjacent hunts. the name still does what it says on the tin since the relevant race is confined to horses from the listed hunts. Hope that helps. James

Just of a metter of cofusing people a bit more the last time I checked (about 3 years ago) the West Strreet Tickham included about 3 East Anglian hunts in their list. Can anybody state any Essex hunts that are prepared to include a Kent hunt in their Confined list - I think most of them think Norfolk is nearer then Kent!

Is it a case of in recent years the SE have needed to encourage horses from outside the region to help supplement the size of the fields?
