The Fences For The Future initiative commenced in March 2011, the objective was to improve existing jumps when possible and build new ones where appropriate, in order to encourage more people to have a go! This work is done in addition to ongoing maintenance carried out by the Tynedale Hunt each year.

We have been encouraged by the kindness and generosity shown by all those who have donated, be it with monetary contributions, time or materials gifted. In 2011 the decision was taken to concentrate on the area surrounding Capheaton and do as much work as possible over the summer, work completed includes;

20 new jumps
11 refurbished jumps
4  new/refurbished wickets
4  hedges cut and shaped into new jumps

As you might imagine we have almost used up the monies raised, however we would hope to continue this initiative next year should more people be prepared to contribute. The plan would be to move to another area of our hunt country and do the same again.

Fences For The Future would like to thank those that have made donations and also the “build team” who have turned out each week in all weathers to complete the task.

We hope you approve of our efforts and enjoy your jumping.
Happy hunting!!
