Hunter Paces
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.

Saturday, June 5 Horse Show

We also have two Specialty Classes during the lunch break.
"Stirrup Cup All Day" where riders are given a shot of "courage" (port or sherry, the traditional Stirrup Cup before a hunt served from a silver platter) to carry mounted at a walk, trot and canter both ways of the ring and riders may be asked to trot an obstacle to break a tie, the rider with the most libation in their cup at the end wins! Entry fee is $20. Bareback "Ride-A-Buck" class, where a judge places a dollar bill under your seat, knee, calf or leg and you will be asked to walk, trot, canter and reverse and possibly navigate an obstacle to end the class. And the winner keeps all the bucks! Entry fee is $20. |
