The spirit of riding to hounds in this manner continues with today’s Mastership of: Mr Brian Temple and Masters Mrs Penny Dowdeswell, Mrs Anna Hall, Mr Wayne Clark and Elaine Colton.

Brian Temple (Senior Master)

Brian is the senior master and huntsman of the FBH. He took over the running of the FBH in 2009, ably assisted by Debbie, his wife and his family.

Penny Dowdeswell (Master)

Penny has been the main field master for the last 2 years and founder master with Brian. She has hunted with the FBH for 16 years, usually accompanied by her two boys.

Anna Hall (Master)
Anna is a Warwickshire farmer who joined the mastership this season and has been hunting with the FBH for 16 years. She is usually accompanied by her daughter and occasionally her husband. Often her younger son helps out on the quad bike.

Wayne Clark (Master)
Wayne has lived and worked within the local agricultural community all of his life. Back in 1997 was the first time Wayne followed the Blood Hounds and wishes everyone that comes out in the future as much fun as he has had. It is Wayne’s first season as Master.

Elaine Colton (Second Field Master)
Elaine has been a second field master for the last two seasons and been hunting with the FBH for the last six. She is usually found at the rear of the field looking after the less adventurous riders but loves to have the odd day at the front over the bigger hedges.

Zoe Stevens (First Whip)
Zoe is the Daughter of Brian and Sister of Jamie. I have been hunting since a young age and am now thriving on the whole experience of the day to day running of the hounds. This will the third season as first whip.

Jamie Temple (Second Whip)
Son of Huntsman/Master Brian. Has been heavily involved in The FBH since March 2010 and has just completed his first season as a whipper in. Can occasionally be seen filming a days hunting from his head cam on board his horse Squiggle. He is also responsible for the editing and production of The Farmers Bloodhounds videos.

Ginny Oakley (Hon Secretary)
Ginny has been on the FBH team from the start being a family friend of the Temples who in a weak moment agreed to take on the job of secretary! She is better known as a side saddle rider, trainer and writer.

Jenny Haycock (Point to Point Secretary)
Jenny plays a major part in the FBH team. She is the first friendly face you will see as she greets you and relieves you of your money! She will then reward you with a glass of Port and plenty of tea and cakes afterwards.
