A hunter pace is designed to mimic the feeling of being on a hunt without the hounds; teams of two, three and four riders will travel over a marked course that includes woods, water and open fields. Riders can choose to participate in one of three divisions: jumping, non-jumping and family/pleasure, where riders ride at their own pace over the marked course. All breeds and disciplines are welcomed; riders are encouraged to jump any obstacle they choose, but no penalty is incurred for not jumping jumps. The team that finishes closest to the optimum time (set by officials) without going over will be the winner in each division.

The race and pace will be held rain or shine. Questions? Email lemghunterpace@gmail.com
