The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses of New England (CANTER NE) is happy to announce that its will continue its partnership with King Oak Farm for a fall hunter pace on Sunday, September 20, 2009.
CANTER NE is happy to return to King Oak Farm once again after two hugely successful hunter paces in 2008.
Located in Southampton, MA, King Oak Farm is widely known for its annual spring and fall horse trials. Participants in the hunter pace will have the opportunity to ride King Oak's extensive cross country courses and trails on more than 180 acres of fields and woods. This is an excellent opportunity to ride the same USEA/USEF registered courses and jumps as participants in the Fall Horse Trials earlier in the month!
During the hunter pace, horses and riders will follow pre-defined routes, trying to finish the course as closely as possible to an optimum time. The course will run roughly four to five miles, with divisions split between Hunter (faster time) and Trailblazer (slower time). All jumps are optional, and riders and horses of all levels are encouraged to attend; whether you're looking for a challenging tune-up or a hack around King Oak's grounds!
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with King Oak Farm” said Ellen O'Brien, Executive Director of CANTER New England. "We are so thankful for their support and looking forward to another exciting day supporting New England’s Thoroughbreds."
