A Hunter Pace is designed to match the excitement of the fox hunt! Teams of 2 to 5 riders go out cross country jumping obstacles, trying to finish as close to the secret optimum time as possible.
The optimum time is determined by having several horses complete the course at an even hunting pace. The optimum time is not the fastest time! Jumps are optional!
