The County Limerick Foxhounds, a long-standing institution in the world of fox hunting, is undergoing a change in leadership. Reports indicate that Mr Frank Wise, the current Master of the Foxhounds, has expressed his intention to step down from his position. This decision marks a significant transition for the hunting community, as Mr Wise’s role has been integral in maintaining the traditions and activities of the County Limerick Foxhounds.

The forthcoming season will witness the passing of the torch to Major Wyndham, a notable figure who is both a cousin and heir to the Earl of Dunraven. Major Wyndham’s appointment as the new Master of the Foxhounds is anticipated to bring fresh energy and perspectives to the organization. With a strong familial connection to the Earl of Dunraven, Major Wyndham is poised to take on the responsibilities of this prestigious position with a deep understanding of the region’s hunting traditions and a commitment to upholding the legacy of the County Limerick Foxhounds.

Fox hunting has long been an esteemed pastime and cultural tradition in many regions, including County Limerick. The transition of leadership in the County Limerick Foxhounds highlights the significance of continuity in maintaining the spirit of this time-honoured pursuit. As Major Wyndham prepares to assume his role as the new Master, it is expected that he will bring his own touch to the organization while respecting the core values and practices that have defined the County Limerick Foxhounds for generations.

The hunting community eagerly anticipates Major Wyndham’s leadership and the positive impact he will undoubtedly have on the County Limerick Foxhounds’ future endeavours. As the next season approaches, participants, supporters, and enthusiasts alike look forward to experiencing the continuation of this rich tradition under new guidance.
