We will have three riding fields to meet the needs of all, and overall winners will be determined for Best Turned Out, Best Turned Out Junior, Best Barbie, and Most Suitable Hunter.
Bull Run Hunt regularly runs three flights of mounted followers. First flight goes quickly and jumps (up to 3'3"), Second flight goes quickly and immediately follows First flight, Third flight is walk/trot and rarely a canter over short distances (depends on riders in field). We feel that we are a great hunt for juniors and new enthusiasts to "try out" foxhunting.
No hunt affiliation is needed!
Of course there will be shopping! Vendor list coming soon!!
