What is a Shakedown Hunt?
Picture
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.

Junior Hunt Members Scholarship Applications due by August 1

The Woodbrook Hunt club is grateful to the Woodbrook Foundation for funding the Junior Hunt Member Scholarship. These scholarships help make it possible for young Riders to become hunt club members for a full season of hunting. This is a wonderful opportunity for keen, dedicated young riders to explore the passion and excitement of riding to hounds with the Woodbrook Hunt club, and to learn about and enjoy the beautiful natural prairies protected by JBLM. The history of the hunt club stretches back 100 years! We are the oldest hunt club west of the Mississippi River! Our young riders are our future. Come for the fun, the community, and the excitement! Scholarships are limited and competitive.
Applications are due by August 1.​
