IRISH huntsmen are enjoying the opportunity to hunt a pack of foxhounds in America. Such huntsmen include Limerick’s Graham Buston in Virginia, Kildare native Willie Dunne in North Carolina and Joseph Hardiman from Galway in South Carolina. Former County Limerick huntsman Hugh Robards, now retired, enjoyed a second career hunting hounds in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

In America, foxhunting and National Hunt racing go hand-in-hand. Irish National Hunt jockeys like Darren Nagle, who hunted with the Duhallows, Ross Geraghty who hunted with the Meaths and Wards, and Paddy Young who hunted with the Iveagh Foxhounds, have all been US Champion Timber Jockeys.
