# Event Details

- **Event Name**: OVH Hunter Trials
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Ottawa Valley Hunt (OVH) for our 2026 hunter trials, hosted at Meadowvale Farm on Saturday, August 22.  The trials are open to all - you do not need to be a member of a hunt club!

The trials include a lead line class for future riders, individual classes on the flat and over fences, and, in the hunter trials tradition, classes for riders in pairs and in teams of three. Also featured are a Champagne Challenge (the one with the most bubbles left wins) and a Handy Hunter class inspired by the principles of Working Equitation!

Your judge is Grits McMullen, ex-OVH Master and President and coach extraordinaire.

All courses are designed to build rider and horse confidence. Fences are low (2'3" to 2'6") and inviting. There will be an opportunity to school over the fences ahead of the 9 am start and a walk through of the Handy Hunter course over lunch. If you don't have a pair or a team of 3, don't worry, you're likely to find a team mate on site.

Classes are $40 (HST incl. or $200 (HST incl.) day pass. Registration opens on Aug. 8. You must register by Aug. 20, but you can add more classes on the day of.

Ribbons to sixth place -  Loot bags for the leadline class - Prizes and/or prize money for other classes, the horse most suitable for the hunt field and best turned-out horse and rider.
