The origin of our name, the Wateree Hounds, lies rooted in the rich, local heritage of Camden. It serves as a tribute to the meandering Wateree River and the indigenous tribes who thrived on its fertile banks prior to the arrival of the pioneering settlers in 1733. It's not merely a name, but a symbol, an homage to our profound respect for the land we traverse and the intricate tapestry of history it is woven into.

This tribute draws attention to the significance of preserving a shared history and learning from the respect for nature that the Native American tribes exhibited. Furthermore, it evokes the courage and determination of the early settlers, inspiring us to match their spirit in our own unique venture.

We invite you to join us on our exhilarating journey, as we continue to redefine the essence of a modern-day Fox Hunt. With the Wateree Hounds, there's more than just a thrilling hunt - there's a vibrant chronicle of history, the inherent beauty of horse-riding, and an infectious camaraderie. Amidst the wild expanse of Camden, with us, there's never a moment that's anything less than extraordinary.
