Competitors: What do you value in a Hunter Pace

We have three speed divisions, same course and fences for all three but all fences are optional. Great variety of terrain. Best venues offer place to hose off the hot horses and a shady place to tie them up (even better is a shady spot for parking the trailers). Good food and clean bathroom facilities (or port o johns) are a must. We allow people to ride more than once, the entry fee is reduced for the second ride. Someone might ride the fast division first then follow up with the slow division. Distances range between 5-10 miles depending on the venue. We run 6 paces starting in the spring and going into the fall. Ribbons (nice ones!) for 1st Thur Th place in each division. We allow teams up to four horses. These are open to all riders, English or western, helmets required for all.
