The Masters and members of Belle Meade Hunt invite you to join us for our 61st annual Opening Meet on November 7th, 2026
A reverent celebration of hounds, horses, and the thrill of the chase.
Due to the rising cost and limited availability of event liability insurance, the Masters and Hunt Committee have made the difficult decision not to host tally-ho wagons for the 2026 Opening Meet. We regret this change, but remain committed to being responsible stewards of the Hunt and respectful partners to our gracious and generous landowners.
