"Virginia is for FoxHunting" Team Trail Ride Challenge!
What is it??
Teams of 2-6 riders are invited to ride a 4-5 mile marked trail at your own pace through the woods and fields and over streams around the Bull Run Hunt kennels. Along the way, look for the logos of some of our Virginia hunt clubs that will be hidden on the trail, and snap a pic of each to bring back to the finish line! Teams that find all the clubs by the end of the ride will win a fun prize!
Additionally, the marked course will go through our jump field at both the beginning and the end of the trail ride loop, and participants are welcome to have a school over the coops, logs, and natural obstacles that our huntsman uses to prepare staff horses for the hunt field.
Check out the photos from the last trail challenge to see how much fun they are!
