Learn the Trails

Foxhunters In Training (FIT) Rides

Intended to prepare horses and riders to enjoy the sport of foxhunting.

Teach your horse to cross bridges, water, ditches and navigate all kinds of terrain safely and calmly while learning about foxhunting traditions and etiquette. Riders and their mounts should be able to walk, trot, and canter safely in a group setting outside of the ring to participate.

Hunter Pace

 Teams of 2 to 4 horses/riders travel a marked course across the Metamora Hunt Countryside. Ribbons and an annual trophy go both to the team that comes closest to optimal time (more leisurely pace), and to the fastest team. Riders without teammates can be placed with others at time of registration.  A trophy and prize money go to the team that finished in the optimal time, and to the fastest team.
