WILL GOODALL was the preeminent huntsman of his time, and his methods are still espoused today as the blueprint on hunting hounds. Will was brought up hunting, being grandson to Stephen Goodall, famous huntsman of the Pytchley and the Quorn. His younger brothers Stephen and Frank became huntsmen of the Heythrop and the Royal Buckhounds respectively.
Will served his apprenticeship as whipper-in at the Belvoir under Thomas Goosey. Thomas had whipped-in to the Belvoir hounds for 23 seasons before hunting them for a further 26. In 1842, after four seasons under Thomas, Will took over the horn at just 24 years old. His master was Lord Forester and it was said that it was “a combination of master and huntsman which, added to the excellence and renown of the pack, entitles this period to the name of the Golden Age.”
