Ian served as Master of the Beaufort Hunt for an impressive 34 years.
In tribute to their beloved leader, the Beaufort Hunt shared a heartfelt message on Instagram:
“It breaks our hearts to share the news of Captain Ian Farquhar’s passing. We extend our love and condolences to his family and friends. It was an honor to have him lead us for 34 wonderful years. He died peacefully this week.”
Hunters who knew him cherished his friendship and valued his inventive ideas. “He was known for his humor and had a captivating story from his time in the army and his life as a hunter. Those who were fortunate enough to hear his tales will always treasure those moments.”
Captain Farquhar had a deep love for his family, his dogs, and his hounds. We take comfort in knowing that a welcoming pack of dogs will greet him in the next world.
“He loved his country and was a true gentleman. He will be deeply missed.”
