Find a Hunter Pace

Find a Hunter Pace launched in March 2012 because there wasn't a single searchable source for equestrian events. Founder Tracy Little saw the problem: some sites only list paid advertisers, others focus only on horse shows, and nothing covered the full range of activities amateur riders actually do.

The site covers seven states with comprehensive event listings:

• •Hunter Paces - Organized rides over challenging terrain with fences and go-arounds
• •Hunter Trials - Competitive riding events
• •Trail Rides - Recreational riding opportunities
• •Horse Shows - Formal competition venues
• •Clinics - Instruction and skill development
• •Trail Associations - Local riding communities
• •Hunt Clubs - Organized hunting organizations

Geographic Coverage

Started in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, the calendar has expanded to include Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Southeastern states. Each region has dedicated pages showing upcoming events with dates, locations, contact information, and affiliated organizations.

Searching is straightforward - browse by state or event type. Each listing includes: - Event date and time - Host organization and facility name - Complete address - Contact name, email, and phone - Website links - Event descriptions and special details

Organizations can list events using: 1. Online form on the website 2. Email submission to [email protected] 3. Downloadable contract for detailed information

Required information: event name, type, date, location, address, contact details, website, and description.
