Woodbury FFA Hunter Pace

LITCHFIELD—The Woodbury FFA Alumni and Parent Support Group announce their annual Woodbury FFA Hunter Pace fundraiser to be held Sunday, November 2 at Thunder Ridge Farm in Litchfield. Pre-entries must be postmarked or received by October 20 and entry forms are available on the internet at woodburyffa.org or by calling Tracey Espitee at 860-350-2307. The fee is $55 in advance for adults and $45 for junior riders 18 and under (as of January 1, 2008). After the October 20 cut-of date, the entry fee is $65 for adults or $55 for junior riders. Starting times may be requested between 8 am and 2 pm on the entry form and are available on a first-come basis. All proceeds from the event go to the Woodbury FFA Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Much of the property is working farmland and includes wooded trails, stream crossings, open fields and pasture land. There are both cross country and stadium-type jumps on the course, although there are go-rounds on every obstacle for those who prefer not to jump.

There will be a hack division for riders who prefer a modest, pleasure-type pace and a hunt division for riders who prefer a more forward, traditional hunting pace. Each division will be further split into Junior and Senior divisions with mixed teams placed in the Senior division. Ribbons, trophies and prizes will be awarded. ASTM-SEI approved helmets are mandatory for all riders.
