The “Barrister” award is named for one of Keswick Hunt Club’s finest dog hounds who had a great nose and really deep cry and whose offspring bear his resemblance and qualities today.

The Masters and Huntsman look for the individual who has excelled in working with the hounds during the off season, who has been a leader in representing Keswick and fox hunting, and has been the person who pitches in on a moment’s notice to lend whatever help is needed. The recipient receives the perpetual framed portrait of Barrister with their engraved name attached.
