Milborne St Andrew Point to Point (Dorset)

Midway between Blandford and Dorchester, the Milborne Point to Point advertises just two meetings: promotional events for the South Dorset Hunt and the Wilton Hunt. Point to Points are built around keeping hunts in the public eye. According to the British Horseracing Society, Point-to-Point Steeple Chases are for horses owned and ridden by members of an affiliated Hunt. A fixture can either be arranged by a Hunt or group of Hunts. Hunting’s ‘friendly face’ they often feature a dog show and are recruiting vehicles for hunts. They are often heavily sponsored by hunt-supporting businesses. This particular venue appears to be the meeting place for what the South Dorset Hunt describes as a ‘Fun Ride’ and a ‘horse event’ in May 2025, but what is more accurately described by Weymouth Animal Rights as a ‘fundraising ride’ which will help enable the South Dorset to continue – er, ‘trail hunting’ during the next fox hunting ‘season’.
