About Our Hunter Paces

Whether you're a veteran 'pacer' or new to the world of cross-country riding, you can come out and have fun with us at one of our hunter paces. Please watch our Hunter Pacing 101 Tutorial video.

WHH Hunter Paces are a great way to have weekend fun and enjoy the countryside with your family, friends and horses. Riders of all ages enjoy riding cross country in conditions similar to fox hunting in a safe, no-pressure environment. Joining our paces is also a great way to make new friends while sharing good food at our tailgate picnics customary after each pace. Bring your favorite dish or beverage to share!
