Hunt Colors and Staff Appointments: YVH colors are forest green collars with gold piping. Hunt buttons display the initials “YVH.” The privilege of wearing the hunt colors is awarded by the Joint Masters based upon the member meeting certain criteria which may include proper hunt etiquette, riding ability and participation in the hunt club activities. Likewise, the Joint Masters appoint the whippers-in and field masters.
