He spoke warmly about Ian, recalling that he was “always a lot of fun, but as wild as a hawk when he was young.”

Furthermore, Andy said that Ian would go down in history as “one of the great Master of Hounds.”

Ian was the esteemed Master of the Beaufort Hunt for 34 years.

On Instagram, the Beaufort Hunt honored their former mentor.

“Sending our love and condolences to the family and friends of our own Captain Ian Farquhar breaks our hearts,” they stated. He gave us 34 years of excellent leadership before passing away quietly this week.

“Many in the hunting community held him in high regard as ‘Captain.’” He was always welcoming, helpful, and prepared to offer anyone who asked for it excellent, progressive advise.

“Anyone who had the good fortune to spend time with Ian and hear about his extraordinary and adventurous life in the army and as a hunter will cherish those memories forever. Ian had a sharp sense of humor.”
