A note on nomenclature for those who have recently entered the Fox Hunting World may be of interest: A “fixture card” is an official card giving the location of weekly meets fixed for specific dates and times by the Master of a recognized hunt. Each recognized hunt is allotted a geographical territory by the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America, over which no other recognized hunt is permitted to cast hounds. The Rappahannock Hunt’s official territory includes almost all of Rappahannock County, a part of Culpeper County and a part of Madison County. □
