Co Clare Hunt

Founded in 1890, they were originally designated as harriers before becoming Foxhounds in the 1980s, though continuing to hunt in green. Their founding master was Major Hickman of Fenloe House who was also a great racing man. Fenloe continued its racing connection under the ownership of the late Tom Costello who produced five Cheltenham Gold Cup winners including Best Mate, a record which may never be beaten. Jimmy Quinn later became master and huntsman before passing over to Gerry Burke and Christy Sparling, among others.
