LongLakeHounds Events
A hunter's pace is a competition where horses and riders follow a well marked trail. Prior to the event, Long Lake Hounds Masters ride the trail at the speed that the Field Hunter (trot/canter/gallop) and Hill Topper (walk/trot/ canter) flights would go if they were hunting. The Masters pace time is the optimal time and considers the terrain and footing conditions. There will be 8-12 jumps spaced around the course, all of which are optional. Competitors go out in teams of two, three or no more than four to ride the trail. Each group of riders is timed. The group that comes closest to the optimal time for each division wins the competition.
