Green Creek Hounds is noted for hunter paces with a twist. In the fall, they hold the famous Halloween Pace. Trails sport goblins, witches and other seasonal spooks. There is always a huge turnout and riders love it.
Spring takes on a different personality. Horses and riders compete in a bonnet contest, Easter Eggs and bunny rabbits are scattered along the route. The private trails show hints of spring and take riders places they cannot ride any other time of the year.
This year the spring pace is on March 18, rain date March 25. The trails chosen are special, the jumps inviting for the hunters, sight filled byways for trail riders and the views are spectacular. Lunch will be served. The bonnet judging will take place near the registration table. Fun prizes will be awarded, so use your imagination. Come join the Green Creek Hound members for a day full of pleasure.
