WINDGATE STABLES KINGSMAN'S FOX HUNT 2015
The Kingsman's Fox Hunt is a hunter pace competition held by Windgate-Stables and qannekke during the month of March.
Horses will be judged on time (total time taken to complete the hunt), as well as rideability (the ease of riding the horse), manners (good behavior on the hunt), and position under saddle (how the horse moves and its position over jumps, how the horse tackles obstacles). Additional points will be rewarded to those who manage to catch the fox at the end of the hunt.

WINDGATE STABLES KINGSMAN'S FOX HUNT - INFORMATION AND SETTING

_{GENERAL INFORMATION
Horses and riders are encouraged to follow the hounds directly in the first field, however are not required and may participate in the second field (no hounds). However, horses following the hounds will receive additional points towards their total score.
Stories are not required, but will give additional effort points.
The more riders you have in your team, the more effort points you will gain.
Draft and light horse breeds are permitted to participate, but may have more difficulty while on the hunt.
Horses are encouraged to have a hunter clip, however it is not required.
There is a way around every jump, so you need not jump any particularly terrifying obstacle.
You are not required to draw your horse jumping an obstacle, however it is highly encouraged to draw your horse approaching, jumping, or departing an obstacle (and will earn you additional points). If you are competing in the team hunt, not all team members are required to jump the obstacle, or jump it at the same time!

SETTING
The hunt will take place in rural Ireland (outside of Windgate's native country of Scotland). The hunt will not pass through any towns or near any buildings, however there will be dirt roads and paths occasionally.
All obstacles are natural obstacles - hedges, ditches, fallen trees, stone walls, and wooden fences are a few of the obstacles that you will see. You will not see any kind of man made or stadium jumps, no jumps have been constructed for this event! You can watch this video for inspiration!
You are allowed to choose the time of your hunt between two days - Day One will be dark and cloudy with a light drizzle throughout the day, and the ground will be soft but not completely muddy. Day Two will be light and partly cloudy, however the ground will be muddy and slippery.
Team hunts will start at 7:30 AM each day, and will run every two hours until the last hunt starts at 12:30 PM.
Individual hunts will run at 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM each day - the individuals will ride together in one of the four groups (notice that you do not have to draw any horses and riders other than your one horse and rider in an individual hunt!).
No hunts will take place during or after sunset - the hunt will be called in early if it begins to get dark.}
