The Farmington Hunter Pace could not have been blessed with a more spectacular fall day. We had a total of 127 riders enjoy a fun course through Dr. Wellon’s, Travis Bailey’s, Dr. Barr’s and Susan McConnell’s gorgeous properties. We are extremely appreciative of these land owners generosity. I dare say there is not a more beautiful setting anywhere.
Riders came from near and far to enjoy the day, the course, and the views.
Our Pleasure Division had 25 teams with the winning team of Allyson Louthan and Shelley Payne riding the course in 1 hour, 27 minutes.
The Hunt/Jump Division had 12 teams with the solo winner, Paula Griggs, finishing in 59 minutes
And the Junior Division had 9 teams with the winning team of, Isabella Karr and Emily Sears, completing the course in 1 hour, 16 minutes.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL RIDERS AND THANK YOU FOR COMING!!!!
It goes without saying that this event would not have happened without the many volunteers. Matthew and Julie spent countless hours getting the course set and marked. For a second year in a row, Rachel Flor, did the timing with great efficiency and accuracy. She was ably assisted by her mom, Helen. When the trailers started rolling in, I was so thankful to have Chris Cuthbert and Jon Elliott directing traffic, and BJ Korol, once again, handling all secretarial duties with Lynne Taylor and Beth Sutton by her side. After everyone finished the great ride, Nancy Howell had a delicious assortment of food for all to enjoy.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT KEPT THE MORNING RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND CREATE A GREAT TIME FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS TO ENJOY!
