Results of the February 25, 2012 Hunter Pace at
Lone Tree Farm

Tree Farm near Waterford, CA. There was a stiff wind blowing but the Central Valley was looking its best with spring blossom in full bloom. Thanks to the good weather this winter, it was the fourth Hunter Pace of the season.

Twenty-two riders rode in 5 classes across the well prepared courses of natural jumps consisting of logs, feeders, and ramps. The riders were comprised of 14 LAH members, 6 adult guests and 2 Junior/Pony Club/LAH Members.

The day started with the three Hunter Pace Classics: The Hilltopper, Introductory Pace & Single Rider over the Beginner Novice Course, followed by the Hunter Pace and a Singer Rider over the Novice Course.

Beth Jimison drove the whole event, including entries, while Connie Arthur and helpers ran the classes and timing. Katie Graham brought ribbons and trophies and wrapped up the scoring and accounting with Jef Graham. As always, we can't do these things without our volunteers – thank you. Special thanks to Connie for hosting us at her lovely ranch. Great job, team.
