Would the board find it useful to have one place to list upcoming Hunter Paces and Hunter Trials for this fall?
I’ve looked through recent threads and done some quick googling to start this list. Please add any you know of, maybe by state?
If this thread seems redundant or not useful, I’ll ask for it to be deleted.
