What’s a Hunter Pace? The Sherwood Forest Equestrian Center's Hunter Pace is a cross-country-style course around Sherwood Forest over various natural obstacles/terrain. The course ends with a final treat for riders to take in stunning views of Mt. Hood with a loop through the old Far Hill Farms field. The beginning of the course will first start with a warm-up loop around show jumping obstacles in the outdoor ring at Sherwood Forest and then riders will continue directly onto the course. Sign up as a solo rider, pair, or team.
This is an educational activity to promote the grassroots of eventing and safe cross-country riding practices. All jumps are optional and open to all disciplines of riding. Yes, it is okay to sign up with your trainer to ride along with you! Several event coaches will be stationed throughout the course and available for additional help.
This is NOT a race! Please wear a watch and time yourself. A secret optimum time will be established for each level that appropriately negotiates the obstacles/terrain. The rider or riders closest to the optimum time wins!
First ride starts at 10:00 am and will finish the day with a BBQ! Come hang out for the day!
We will open up our top field off of SW Westfall Rd. for parking so that participants can easily tie to their trailers. Limited stabling is also available.

Happy Kentucky week eventing fans! The 2025 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event kicks off with the first formal horse inspection for the five-star field this Wednesday, April 23. With so much excitement building up for the competition this year, we compiled all the facts you might want to know about this year's five-star lineup. Get to know each of the horses and riders entered this year a little bit better below!
Horse trials, from local grassroots competitions to FEI-level events, are the heartbeat of the eventing world. These trials are more than just a test of skill for riders and horses; they are essential to the growth and sustainability of the entire equestrian community.
Whether you've brought your horse up from Novice or took on the ride later in their career, getting to your first five-star on a special partner is a huge accomplishment.
Are you following along with the action from home this weekend? Or maybe you're competing at an event and need information fast. Either way, we’ve got you covered!
