July 24 and
Join us for an exciting and
fun time at our beautiful fixture on the
The Green Mountain Hounds
regularly hunt at this fixture during the season. This is a marvelous opportunity to see and
ride this lovely property, replete with mountain views, jumps, the meandering
Lemon Fair, woods, and fields. During the hunt season, the hounds pursue a drag
scent, followed by the field of riders.
While the hounds seek out the line, the pace is slow and the riders
watch the hounds at their work. When the
hounds find the scent they explode with a musical cry and the ride may be very
fast indeed!
In the Hunter Pace, riders, typically
in teams of two or three, will traverse the same territory, and attempt to
mimic the pace of a typical hunt. The
trail will cover approximately eight miles, with some 20-25 optional
jumps. The route will cross fields and
a bridge, and wind through wooded trails.
At the end of the ride everyone gathers together for prizes for the
teams most closely mimicking the official hunter’s time for each of the
divisions. Lunch and soft drinks will be
supplied.
There will be three divisions. For those preferring a slower pace there is “The Hill-Toppers.” A faster time will be ridden by the “Second Field.” Those preferring a rapid clip should ride the “First Field,”
Starting times between 9am and 11amPrizes will be awarded at
