Reginald Greville Nugent who lived at Clonhugh was more renowned as a steeplechase jockey who spent a lot more time at race meetings in the United Kingdom than as a huntsman.

 

In 1874 he resigned to concentrate full-time on steeplechasing. In 1875 the Hunt subscription amounted to £1,154 and there were 105 members.

Sir Montague Chapman son of Sir Benjamin Chapman the 4th Bart. of Killua Castle near Delvin became Master in 1876 and held the position until 1881.
