Norfolk Hunt Club Sponsoring Charles River Panorama Hunter Pace

On Sunday, July 18, 2021, the Norfolk Hunt Club is conducting the Charles River Panorama Hunter Pace starting at Medfield State Hospital, Hospital Road, Medfield, MA. The Pace will begin at 7:30 a.m. with the last rider departing at 12:00 noon.

This is the second hunter pace of a series of four that Norfolk Hunt Club will be holding this year. Other future Pacers are scheduled on August 22nd at the Steeplechase Course in Medfield and on October 22nd in Westport, Massachusetts

This Panorama features about eight miles of riding trails with gorgeous vistas of the Charles River from Medfield, Dover, and Sherborn. Historic and incredibly beautiful properties such as Leverett Saltonstall Farm, George Lewis Estate, Rocky Narrows, and Charles River Gateway are included on this unique riding experience that horseback riders of all levels and types will not want to miss!

The Charles River Panorama will be held in a picturesque intersection of Medfield, Dover, and Sherborn following along both sides of the Charles River where many trails have been used for hundreds of years by Native Americans, horseback riders, walkers, and hikers.

Teams of up to five rider/horse pairs compete in one of three divisions: first flight (jumping), second flight (flats), and hilltoppers (slower pace flats). All divisions encounter 12 - 15 inviting fences, log jumps, and stone walls not to exceed 3' 6" in height. A way around all obstacles is available, and riders in each division can bypass jumps at their own discretion.

Six ribbons will be awarded in each division for teams achieving closest times to optimal riding times.
