I think folks with Ft. Leavenworth hunt in uniform sometimes but maybe some of them post/lurk here and could tell you for sure. A guy I hunt with was stationed out there and wore his, but for some reason he doesn’t here. quote]
Yes, they still do. Opening & Closing hunt were especially neat up there when I had my membership back 9 years ago…and then you should see their Hunt Ball. 
Full Military dress. 
You feel like a better person just for being in the same room with them…
To pose an answer to your question about the lack of uniform wearing, some officers don’t feel comfortable wearing their formal uniforms outside of official military functions because it calls attention to themselves. Some military people are like that. Many of my military friends certainly are. I don’t think they feel that way because of anything they are ashamed of regarding the military but rather because they don’t want people to look at them as “military people” instead of just another American citizen. In the instance of your friend, he may not wear it simply because he feels he doesn’t have to do it here since it may not be a “regular” thing amongst the hunts here, he might feel that he would get grief over it for whatever odd reason, or he could simply want to feel “normal” like my friends do. He may not even be allowed to ride here in anything resembling a regular dress uniform with rank and insignia if he’s active duty or reserve as the regulations stipulate that you are supposed to get command approval before wearing military dress in any representative manner. On the other hand, he might not be comfortable wearing anything of the sort in the hunt weather here though I don’t think it would be too different from wearing the formal hunt garb as far as fabrics and layers go. I think you should pop the question and let us know what his thoughts are.
