Salt Marsh Hounds Colors
Among the oldest traditions in foxhunting is the awarding of Colors — the distinctive collar and inscribed buttons that mark a member’s place within the Hunt.
At Salt Marsh Hounds, Colors are earned through dedication, hunting expertise, good sportsmanship, and service to the Field. They recognize riders who uphold the spirit and values of our Hunt — deep respect for good sport, hounds, horses, and for one another.
Please note - Salt Marsh Hounds Masters, Staff and Gentlemen with Colors will not wear Scarlet during the 2025-2026 Formal Season.
Gentlemen Members with Colors wear a Black hunting jacket or frock, Buttercream collar with Green piping, Black buttons inscribed with SMH Monogram. Masters, Huntsman, and Gentlemen with Colors may wear black dress boots with russet tops.
Ladies Members with Colors wear a Black or Navy hunting jacket or frock, Buttercream collar with Green piping, Black buttons inscribed with SMH Monogram. Ladies with colors may choose to wear black dress boots with optional black patent leather tops.
For Members awarded colors, wool for collars is provided.
Black inscribed buttons will be available for purchase from the Hunt Secretary.
