IN THE HUNTERS

A fun Costume Class for singles, pairs or teams shown at a walk will be on Sunday afternoon in Ring 3. Be creative with your barn mates!

We’ve added a Model class to Green Pony on Monday in Ring 3 and to Children’s Hunter Pony on Sunday in Ring 2. Ponies are shown in hand, to be judged on handling and presentation. Will be asked to jog. Confirmation not to count. This is a great stepping stone for Juniors that want Model experience without the stress of rated shows.

Expanded Field/Fox Hunter in the Main Ring on Saturday afternoon. Open to all horses & ponies, to be judged on the proper hunt turnout of horse & rider; the way of going, manners, safety, boldness, handiness and overall brilliance of the round. Need not be MFHA. This is a great warm up for Hunt Night at Harrisburg, local Hunter Trials or for the Eventers and Pony Clubbers that may have a horse or pony that is great at cross country, but not so great with hounds and hasn’t hunted as a result.  Fences at 2’6″ – 2’9″.
