Since 18th February 2005, the Southdown & Eridge continue to hunt with hounds, but do so within the law and restrictions of the Hunting Act 2004.
The hunt meet regularly during open season, although meets do take place on other days over the Christmas period and for children's meets during school holidays. The Hunt welcome visitors and supporters, mounted or on foot. Mounted followers should make prior arrangements with the Honorary Secretaries.

SEH Junior Member Makes a Strong Finish
We are very proud of TB - one of our younger and very enthusiastic members at SEH, and the only member of the Eridge Pony Club to race at their race day at Lingfield Park on Monday.
Theo finished 6th in a strong field of 12 ponies (his pony is 13.2 and those ahead of him were 14.2!) and was presented with the prize for the most technically ridden race. HRH the Princess Royal attended this meeting because it was the 80th anniversary of the Eridge (Hunt Branch) of the Pony Club and Theo was given the job of presenting her with a bouquet on behalf of the EPC. The Princess Royal presented Joanna Tindall, the District Commissioner, with the Cubitt Award for her more than 20 years of service to the Pony Club. Our congratulations - well done - we will watch his progress over the winter season! Tumbler's Tally!
