Shawnee Hounds Hunt Club

Shawnee Hounds had its first formal blessing in 1978. Since then we have bred and maintained a pack of Penn-Marydel and cross-bred foxhounds.

Our kennels are located in Johnston City, IL and we enjoy ~16,000 acres of territory.

Shawnee Hounds is fortunate to have access to multiple, beautiful locations for our Hunts and riding activities!
Our “North Country” where we host our trail rides and summer activities is about 400 acres of open fields, wooded trails, creek crossings and jumps! Perfect for quiet trails rides, building confidence over various obstacles and schooling for cross country events or trail classes!
We have ample parking for guests and their trailers and a lovely row of variety of fences and coops at the gate that are all open and inviting!
All jumps are optional and none of the “combos” are closer than 3-4 strides apart depending on your horse!

Fox hunting can and is a family activity. We have 3 generations hunting sometimes. Here we have Gail with her granddaughter and Heather with her son.

At Shawnee Hounds, you can ride in either Western or English tack. We require that all riders wear helmets, but beyond that, you're free to choose the tack that suits you best.

It was a lovely evening to take the hounds out on foot! With the new pups coming along nicely, these walks are an excellent opportunity to get to know them ☺️
Jay loves to carry small sticks, Kimber is vocal when she is excited, and Journey & Jumpy enjoy being quite forward with curiosity.

Join Shawnee Hounds every Wednesday at our kennels for an exciting opportunity to learn about foxhunting and interact with our hounds. We conduct hound walks on foot and horseback throughout the week. Contact Heather Page Stock for details.
