200th Anniversary Celebration
In 2026, the Montreal Hunt Club will mark two centuries of tradition, sport, and fellowship.
Since 1826, the Club has stood as a steward of equestrian excellence in Canada — preserving heritage while embracing each new generation of members and friends.
We invite you to join us for five days of celebration in the Eastern Townships and Montreal, as we honour our past and ride confidently into our third century.

Our Story
Founded in 1826, the Montreal Hunt is the oldest North American hunt club in continuous existence. For two decades after 1850, the club was virtually an annex of the local British Army garrison, and its members were mainly military personnel.
The years after Confederation were relatively quiet; the club lost many of its members with the removal of military units to the United Kingdom and of civil servants to the newly established capitals of Ottawa and Québec City.
The club has watched Canada unfold as a country before its eyes. With time, the Club opened its doors and evolved, welcoming all those driven by the same flame: a love of horses, hounds and the open air.
Today it continues to thrive.
"Tally Ho!"
