Spring Hunter Pace

Below is a map of the SGF Spring Hunter Pace course and a list of Rules & Reminders to help make your ride go a little smoother.  Registration will be at the front porch of the house and to save time click here for an entry form which you can bring with you or better yet fill out the on-line entry form and pay when you arrive. Keep in mind that the jumping entries close @ 11:00, the flat entries close @ 1:00 and trail riders close @ 1:30.

Since it's going to be a warm day we have added THREE to the optimum time to give you plenty of time to get a drink and the option of a creek crossing for your horses.  There is a wash wrack in the parking area behind the 3 metal buildings to cool them off when you're done with your ride.  Coopers will have their concession stand set up behind the house.

Hope to see you on Mon.
