The AtherstoneHunt Country Extends 24miles from the North to South and 18 miles East to West. From 1930 to 1950 thehunt divided into the North Atherstone and the South Atherstone, but is nowreunited as one. During that time the first South Atherstone huntsman was the famous Arthur Thatcher, who although no longer young, showed remarkable sport before he past away in November 1931. He was buried near the kennels at Cotesbach. The terrain is a mixture of arable and grass with some tough fences, the fences are mainly post and rails, but the hedges do also require jumping, preferably by a bold horse. The country and often the going needs a fit horse but there are a selection of days suitable for young horses and the less experienced rider.Adjacent Packs: Meynell and South Staffs, Quorn, Fernie and Pytchley.
