Hunter Pace 9/15/2024
To Benefit: Lyme Trail Association, High Hopes Therapeutic Riding, Connecticut Valley Pony Club
A Hunter Pace is a cross-country ride with a partner over a marked and timed course of up to 9.5 miles that includes 2-3' jumps that riders may go over OR around.
- Hunter: Experienced in the hunt field and want to take the course at a faster pace, traditionally a fox hunt pace.
- Hilltopper: A more leisurely pace than Hunter, about 25% slower for the novice horse and/or rider.
- Best Conditioned Horse: Vet check will be immediately following the finish.

In 2022, there were so many happy riders thrilled to be back at Lord
Creek Farm after two years of no Lyme Hunter Pace and that mood was
contagious. Other key ingredients in making the event such a success
were:
The beautiful day!!
The totally revamped and perfectly marked course - Thank you so much to Binky and Linda and their team!The hard work of Bob and Mike in clearing the trails and repairing and rebuilding jumps. Much needed, thank you!
The many Saturday volunteers who got us off to a great start enabling us to be ready for Sunday.
A certain Parking volunteer who parked trailers and spectator vehicles in picture perfect order! Thank you and the rest of the Parking crew!
To Lyme Fire Company, Lyme Ambulance Association and Durham Animal Response Team for supporting the Hunter Pace by being present and, thank goodness, not needed this year!
To all of the other volunteer crews who welcomed the riders and made them feel at home on Lord Creek Farm — and couldn’t have been better at their jobs!
