Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
WOODBROOK HUNT CLUB PROVIDES YEAR-ROUND HUNTING ACTIVITIES FOR ITS MEMBERS AND GUESTS IN ORDER TO PRESERVE AND PROMOTE THE SPORT OF MOUNTED FOXHUNTING. CURRENTLY THERE ARE ONLY FIVE ACTIVE HUNTS LEFT IN THE WESTERN US SO IT'S A CRITICAL MISSION FOR US, AND WE HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST MEMBERSHIP DUES RATES IN THE COUNTRY TO KEEP THE SPORT AFFORDABLE FOR MOST RIDERS, WHICH IS OFFSET BY YEAR-ROUND FUNDRAISING BY THE MEMBERS. THE MOUNTED HUNT SEASON IS OCTOBER THROUGH APRIL, WE NORMALLY HUNT TWICE A WEEK AND EXERCISE HOUNDS ON TWO TO THREE OTHER DAYS. TO ENCOURAGE NEW MEMBERSHIP, WE OFFER LEASE HORSES FOR HIRE AND A LOW GUEST FEE; WE TYPICALLY GET BETWEEN 8 TO 15 NEW MEMBERS A YEAR FROM THESE ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION, AT LEAST TWO HUNTS A YEAR ARE "CAP-FREE AND WE INVITE RIDERS FROM OTHER DISCIPLINES, LIKE WESTERN RIDERS TO JOIN US. WE TRY AND PAIR NEW MEMBERS AND GUESTS WITH A CHAPERONE SO THAT THEY MAY FEEL COMFORTABLE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SPORT. WHC'S RIDING TERRITORY IS LOCATED ON A JOINT ARMY AND AIR FORCE BASE, JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, AND MILITARY MEMBERS JOIN AT A DISCOUNTED RATE. THROUGH THE WOODBROOK FOUNDATION, JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE CLUB ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES THAT OTHERWISE COULD NOT AFFORD TO JOIN IN OUR SPORT. IN THE SUMMER, THE CLUB PUTS ON MOUNTED TRAILRIDES AND MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO HELP WALK HOUNDS OUT TWICE A WEEK.
WHC HAS FOUND THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE OUR SPORT IS BY INVITING RIDERS TO EVENTS AT THE CLUBHOUSE. BEFORE THE HUNT SEASON STARTS, WE DO AN "INTRODUCTION TO FOXHUNTING CLINIC AND THIS YEAR WE PLAN TO TAKE THE CLINIC ON THE ROAD SO WE CAN REACH OUT TO A LARGER NUMBER OF POTENTIAL MEMBERS. OVER THE YEAR, WE HOLD THREE TO FOUR HUNTER PACES WITH SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS, THIS IS VERY POPULAR WITH NON-FOXHUNTING RIDERS. TO REACH JUNIOR RIDERS, WE HOLD A VERY POPULAR GYMKHANA OF GAMES, AND FOR LOWER-LEVEL RIDERS, WE HAVE A SUMMER SCHOOLING SHOW. OUR BIGGEST COMPETITION IS OUR OCTOBER HUNTER TRIALS HORSE SHOW; IT INCLUDES HUNTER TRIAL CLASSES THAT SIMULATE RIDING ON A FOXHUNT, A SHOW WITHIN A RING AND A HUNTER PACE. THESE ACTIVITIES BRING IN OVER 75 NON-MEMBER RIDERS THAT LEARN ABOUT OUR SPORT.
