Fall 2012 Hunter Paces/Hunter Trials

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. :slight_smile:

Limited information available at essexfoxhounds.org

Middlebrook has a pace September 16th and I believe another in November TBA.
Sweet Briar College and Bedford County Hunt have annual Hunter Trials (at Sweet Briar) October 20th. :slight_smile:

I just want to note, check out these websites! Many GORGEOUS photos to get you in the mood for the season, now upon us!

And I really wish I could join the Genesee Valley Riding and Driving Club! And all of these wonderful hunts!

September 8th and October 20th in Mocksville, NC

I realize I’m a little late to this game, but thought I would add the timed trail rides at Thoroughbred Training Center (and surrounding properties) in Mocksville, NC. There are two left in the “series”. One is tomorrow, September 8th, and the next one is Saturday October 20th.

Riders can go out from 9:00-1:00, and there are three divisions: slow, moderate and fast. The best part is that all proceeds benefit Riverwood Therapeutic Riding Center in Tobaccoville, NC.

Can anyone tell me if the Monmouth County Hunt is having any hunter paces this fall? I don’t see them on your list, and when I checked the website, it hasn’t been updated -

For some reason I had an idea they have one on 9/16, even invited friends to go with me, but now I can’t find word of it online anywhere… maybe I saw it in the mail… Help!

I may have to confess to my friends I invited them to a ghost hunter pace - then we’ll have to pick one from the lovely list above (thanks!!)

^I couldn’t find anything on the web about a fall event offered by Monmouth County Hunt, either, Arcadien. If you do find the details, let us know and I will put it in the OP. Thanks for posting what you know == maybe someone else will have more information. :slight_smile:

In the Tryon, NC, and upstate SC area, the Western Carolina Hunter Pace series runs from September 15 through May. Website is http://www.wchpace.org
