Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America explained

The Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America, first established in 1907 as the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America, and commonly abbreviated to MFHA, is an association promoting the activities and interests of fox hunting in the United States and Canada. It has its headquarters in Middleburg, Virginia.

The MFHA is the governing body of fox, coyote, and drag hunts in both the United States and Canada.[1]

As well as organizing fox hound shows and performance trials,[2] the MFHA operates a Professional Development Program[3] and a Hunt Staff Benefit Foundation.[4] It also publishes a number of guides and handbooks, several of which are available on its web site.[5]

Members of the MFHA include the Montreal Hunt, the oldest fox hunt in Canada, formed in 1826, and the Piedmont Foxhounds of Virginia, first established in 1840.[6]
