The Shakerag Hounds is the oldest recognized hunt in Georgia.  It was established in 1943, when a group of horse and hunting enthusiasts at Atlanta’s historic Chastain Park started the Atlanta Hunt Club, the precursor of the Shakerag Hounds of today. In 1950, the hunt was officially recognized by the Master of Foxhounds Association. 

Shakerag continues as a thriving hunt with excellent hunt territories and an active hunting and social membership. Our facilities include a large Clubhouse, kennels, a barn for staff horses and a home for the professional huntsman.  We breed, raise and train a pack of 50 PennMaryDel and cross bred foxhounds who provide great sport for our members and guests as they hunt red and gray fox, coyotes and bobcat. 

Foxhunting with Shakerag is a family sport, with riders from 8 to 80 riding in one of our three fields.  There is a place for everyone who enjoys riding to hounds and experiencing a sport with deep traditions dating back to George Washington who hunted his hounds in the rolling hills along the Potomac River. 

You’re invited to Experience the Tradition – Hunt with Shakerag!
