The
Classes
Riders compete in teams of at least two
riders with a maximum of five riders per team.
Each team must declare before the race the category in which that team will
compete, (Hunter or Hill Topper). Before
the event Connie Sparks will ride the course twice; once as a Hunter and once
as a Hill Topper. She will time each ride to set a course time. The
course times will not be shared with anyone else prior to the event.
The
Hunters will
try to match the set course time as he/she follows the hounds at a walk,
trot or canter/lope and then chases a fox at a canter or a gallop. There might
be four or five foxes sighted and pursued. The team with the nearest time to
set course time wins 1st prize!
The
Hill Toppers will try to match the set course
time as a spectator of the hunt. Hill Toppers travel at a far more
leisurely pace that the Hunters but might include walking, trotting,
cantering/loping and maybe galloping. A Hill Topper's pace is as fast
or as leisurely as the rider wants it to be - including "I don't care
about competing - I'm just here for the ride, the fresh air and the
fun". (We welcome these guys!) Again, the
team with the nearest time to set
course time wins 1st
prize!
