Hi there!
I out with them a few times last year. They're not affiliated to the MFHA and hunt the country of a couple of the local hunts (Pentyrch, Gelligaer, Tredegar Farmers). I'm on a yard in Caerphilly and have to say they have been a bit of a pain this year. They've been in the area and lost hounds a few of times, resulting in them blowing the horn in the field opposite for up to 1 1/2 hours and the hounds running through our fields, so all our horses went nuts! The Boxing Day meet from Caerphilly Castle is quite cool, though!
Whereabouts in Caerphilly are you? PM if you prefer. The hunts I mentioned above hunt the area and hold hunter trials/pleasure rides in the spring&summer.

Thank you! My horse is stabled in Nantgarw, how do I find out about taking part? where they meet etc, I've never been hunting before so am a absolute novice lol. I don't have transport/mare is awful to load so going to the caerphilly hunt would be perfect

It would depend on where their meets are as you dont have transport you would have to hack there and i'm not sure if they have any that close. Unfortunately uve missed the season for this year, the next season starts with cubbing at the end of august. There may be a few pentyrch meets that are relatively close (theres the kings arms, pentyrch and also the ship, efail isaf.)

Are you able to get to Blackbrook Road from where you are? If so you can hack to various meets. As BackWithABang says you have missed the meets local to us this year but I can PM you the details of next season's when I get them.

We get a visit at least once a month during the season (whether they are meant to or not...)
