field master/huntsman/whipper-in Explanation: I'll get some refs... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2016-08-24 11:24:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.ma-chasse.com/vocabul.shtml Piqueur (on dit piqueux). Valet à cheval qui a la responsabilité de l'équipage de chasse à courre. so that seems like it's "HUNTSMAN" http://www.dictionary.com/browse/huntsman noun, plural huntsmen. 1. the member of a hunt staff who manages the hounds during the hunt. this has a lot of terms that may be useful http://www.harvardfoxhounds.com/HFH_Fox_Hunting_Terms.html Huntsman – The person who hunts hounds and is responsible for the care, breeding, and training of the hounds. At some hunts the Masters direct the breeding program. At some hunts one of the Masters acts as Huntsman. The Huntsman may be professional (in which case he is paid for his services) or he may be an amateur. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2016-08-24 11:28:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and of course "huntsmen" for plural. the "whipper-in" is actually the assistant to the huntsman http://www.dictionary.com/browse/whipper-in -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-08-24 13:54:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Glad to help Claire! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2016-08-29 11:48:30 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- yes, I think "huntsman" is the right term here |
