Thanksgiving morning hunt


One of the fun Thanksgiving Day morning events in town is the Norfolk Hunt Club’s drag hunt.  This is one of the Norfolk Hunt Club’s major events of the year with as many as 75 – 100 horses and riders, and a great time to witness the hunt in full gala and pageantry.

The “hunt” will begin at the Steeplechase Field in Medfield (240 North Street) at 9:00 AM.   Several hundred people watch and celebrate the start of this hunt there.   Many people then drive over to the large field atop the sledding hill and across from the Medfield State Hospital where the riders and hounds take a break.

From there the hunt usually rides out through the fields behind the Medfield State Hospital into Dover, eventually circling back on trails through the woods to the North Street starting point.
