Thank you for your interest in the Woodbrook Hunt Club.  We are located in Lakewood, Washington and drag hunt primarily on Joint Base Lewis-McChord by permit.  Our members are a lively cross-section of age groups and experience, from lifetime members and veteran riders to proud parents leading their youngsters on ponies.

At the Woodbrook Hunt Club, we strive to maintain the traditions of riding to hounds. We sport the scarlet and black coats that you see in the old hunt prints.  We keep 13 or more couple of American Foxhounds in our kennels. 

Hounds are hunted by our Huntsman and assisted by several Whippers-In.  We also have a clubhouse for "hunt breakfasts" and other social gatherings, a formal Hunt Ball, summer hunter paces and an annual Hunter Trials Horse Show.
