THE SEVENTH ANNUAL HAUNTED HOLLOW HUNTER PACE




Thank you to all of you who braved the weather.  Amazingly, we had 
a great day, and some of the best costumes we have ever seen.  
Mayor Don Cannon saved the day for us by showing up
with camera in hand.  There are many wonderful costumes he did not get, 
but many that he did.  We have posted his pictures in low resolution. 
If anyone wants the full quality photo please contact him at

Thank you all so much.  We enjoyed the day immensely.  
We hope you did too.

From all of us at Ashland Farm

Somehow, somewhere in the depths of the map IT world, our location is off by about 15 miles! 
 

Our Summer Pace, similar to our Hunter Pace in the Fall, is an opportunity to ride out with friends,

going fast or slow, jumping or going around the jumps, and to have a grand time doing it. 

But the Summer Pace serves a larger purpose in that it coincides with National Trails Day and the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource organization’s efforts to raise awareness about the growing crisis of

loss of land for horse related activities. 

Our event reflects upon these efforts and attempts to focus attention on the need to address this crisis

locally: from private farms such as ours, working hard to hold on to the land to keep it from being

developed, to more publicly accessible lands.

But who says you can’t be serious and have fun at the same time? 

Disguised as a competition, the winners are those in each division who come in at the time closest to

the optimum time.  The optimum time is roughly determined by the speed at which a fox hunter would

safely negotiate the terrain.  The optimum time is predetermined.   

 (A walk = 100-120 mpm; Trot = 220-240 mpm; Canter = 350-400 mpm)

DEFINITION OF DIVISIONS

All divisions are ridden in teams of two or more, except for the Coyote Run. The competition is judged on time. The winners are those who complete their ride in the time closest to the optimum (NOT THE FASTEST) time. Each division's course will be clearly marked, and there will be spotters along the way.
 All jumps are optional.
 

WHY NOT ADD A COYOTE* RUN!

A 1000 meter cross country course to be ridden at 350 mpm.
 Has 8 - 10 obstacles ranging from 18" to 3' 3"
All jumps are optional.
Judged only on optimum time (350 mpm)
(Optimum is NOT the fastest time!)
A great tune up for your next recognized event
And it's fun!
