The field is composed of members called Boutons, and by contributers called “Demi-Bouton” and “Quarts de Bouton”, depending on their financial contribution and their attendance to the hunt meets during a season.
The field is directed by the Hunt Committee comprising of:
— The Master
— The Joint Master
— The Huntsman who leads the hounds
— The Field Master who separates the hounds from the riders
Just as 160 years ago, the Boutons wear the red jacket with a green collar, the waistcoat is the same green colour, beige pants and the hunting stock, the ladies wear black as the Demi and Quarts de Boutons.

The pack is composed of 20 to 22 hounds resulting from the cross breeding of English and Irish fox-hounds with Anglo-French hounds (hunting deer), giving a type of hound bigger, more aggressive and a natural instinct for hunting foxes than the genuine fox-hound. The pack is mainly composed of male hounds. There are 35 hounds bred in the Pau Hunt kennel, located in the stables and Club House, in Morlaas, Berlanne.

The hunting horse of the Pau Hunt is rather light, the riders favouring skill over power. The hunter must be honest, skilful, calm and sharp at the same time. The Anglo-Arab is the perfect horse for the Pau Hunt rider, but thoroughbreds, especially those having experienced steeple – chase, or “selle francais leger”, are equally good. Seven or eight meets are needed for a novice horse to learn the tricks of the course and a complete season (20 meets) to be perfectly trained.
