Terrier Work and Trail Hunting
Effective from: Wednesday 17 December 2025
1. Separation of Terrier Work from Trail Hunting
Terrier work must not form part of, or be associated with, a day's trail hunting.
Nothing in this rule prevents terrier work which is lawful under the Hunting Act 2004, provided it is undertaken separately and is unconnected with the day's trail hunting.
2. No Terrier Equipment With the Hunt
No vehicle carrying terriers, terrier boxes, or equipment intended or configured for terrier work may accompany, follow, or be associated with a day's trail hunting.
This does not prevent the carriage of general-purpose tools for legitimate country work or emergency repairs.
3. Hunt Responsibility
Hunts and Masters are responsible for ensuring that no terrier work or terrier-related activity is associat with a day's trail hunting.
If such activity occurs, the hunt and Masters may be held responsible unless they can clearly demonstrat that it was not associated with the day's trail hunting
4. Enforcement
Breaches will result in disciplinary action, which may include:
suspension of trail hunting,
withdrawal of recognition;
referral to the HSRA:
suspension or removal of terrierman registration.
Repeated or serious breaches may result in long-term suspension.
Guidance Note: Visibility and Conduct During Hunting
(Relevant to all forms of hunting, not a Rule.)
This guidance is relevant to all forms of hunting, including trail hunting, exempt hunting and other lawfu hunting activities.
To maintain a clear distinction between lawful hunting and those who conceal their identity for confrontational purposes, it is not appropriate for anyone present at or associated with a hunting day to obscure their identity. Any face covering that has this effect-in whole or in part, and regardless of type
- should only be used where required as safety equipment or due to severe weather.
Visible openness supports trust with landowners, the public and Government, and reinforces confidence lawful hunting.
