3rd Annual Hunter Trials Results, see great photos in Gallery by Barnes and Haschart

4/12/2014

Horses and ponies competed over a lovely outside course with 2' and 2'6" options designed to simulate those found in the hunting field for our 3rd annual hunter trials, held at Hunting Ridge Farm near Free Union, VA. Tailgaters had a great view from the top of the hill, and we were blessed with a perfect 65 degree, sunny day.  Photo credits to Bob Haschart and Muffin Barnes.
