Join Wicomico Hunt Club for our seventh annual Performance Trial! Hounds will hunt the stunning Wye

Island NRMA on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The open, flat terrain gives excellent visibility for watching

hounds in actions. Wye Island spans 2,000 acres of cropland and wooded cover, perfect for foxhunting. A

public gravel road runs through the middle allowing both judges and non-riding spectators to witness the

exciting hound action along the pristine Wye River.

The Performance Trial (PT) operates like a standard foxhunt for riders, offering first and second fields to

accommodate all skill levels. The twist? Our neutral Huntsman, Marty Morani from Wicomico Hunt

Club, will lead hounds entered from various participating hunt clubs. Judges ride alongside hounds,

ensuring fair conditions for the 45 hounds representing the Penn-Marydel (PMD) packs. Fred Berry,

Sedgefield Hunt, will serve as the PT Chief Judge.

Registration can be found here. Please reach out to Associate Master Alison Howard with any questions regarding registration.
