May 16th Hunter Pace
A hunter pace is a form of competition involving horses and riders in which a trail is marked for horse and rider to follow. The hosts of the event send experienced horses and riders to ride the trail at the speed that the First, Second and Hilltopper flights would go if they were fox hunting. The pace time is the ideal time to safely, but quickly, ride the set trail.
Competitors go out in teams of two, three or four to ride the trail. Each group of riders is timed. Riders are penalized for either riding too fast and beating the pace time, or too slow and taking longer than the pace time. The group to come closest to the pace time wins the competition, whether over or under the "pace" time.
Jumps all have go-arounds. Medals awarded to each flight winner. The course is approximately five miles through beautiful woods and prairies.
