2025 Mells Hunter Pace

2025 MELLS HUNTER PACE

ABOUT HUNTER PACE EVENTS

Open to riders of all ages, riding disciplines, and riding levels. Ride a 3-5 mile course over beautiful hunt country. The objective is to ride as close to ideal hunting pace as possible.

Two speeds (1st Flight is faster and includes jumping, 2nd Flight is slower, no jumping, use gates). Jumps to 3’3”, many smaller, and are typical natural obstacles and coops found in hunt country. Teams start at 1 - 5 minute intervals, so you are not “racing” against a field.

Any riding attire is acceptable, but ribbons for best turned out in hunt attire. All riders must wear a helmet when mounted. Negative Coggins must be presented at gate. Liability Release required (to be completed and witnessed at registration). All junior riders (under 18 years old) must have liability release signed by parent or guardian.
