The purpose of the Hunter’s Pace is to have a competitive event approximating the condition of the hunt field and to test the rider’s judgment of “hunting pace” over fair hunt country. The course will be marked with colored markers. It will be approximately 4 – 5 miles long, and run over beautiful rolling fields and autumn woods. The “ideal” time is the goal. The time is set by the Jt. Masters
HUNTER’S PACE OVER FENCES
Contestants will be sent off as pairs or groups at 3-minute intervals, over a course of 10 + fences. The fences are 3’ or smaller. The course will be well marked and maps will be available upon arrival. A challenge trophy and eight ribbons will be awarded based on the completion time closest to the time ridden by the Joint Masters.
HUNTER’S PACE ON THE FLAT
Contestants will be sent off as pairs or families at 3-minute intervals, on a course that closely matches the Pace Over Fences, but without jumps. The course will be well marked and maps will be available upon arrival. A trophy and eight ribbons will be awarded based on the completion time closest to the time ridden by the Joint Masters.
THIRD FIELD (ON THE FLAT)
This field is for groups with young riders or inexperienced horses who would like to ride a shorter course without jumps. Each group will leave in 3-minute intervals and ride a well-marked course. Maps will be available upon arrival. A trophy and four ribbons will be awarded based on the completion time closest to the time ridden by the Joint Masters.
