As is traditional in Virginia, our Hunter Trials are designed to give opportunities for: field hunters to show their expertise, prospective hunters to gain experience, show ring hunters to get out into the field, and eventers to practice cross-country.

Courses will consist of logs, coops and other natural and inviting fences commonly found in the hunting field set in gently rolling pastures. Horses will be judged on performance, manners, suitability and way of going as a mount to hounds. There are two separate courses. First Flight courses will be not more than 8 fences 2'6" to 3' in height. Second Flight courses will be not more that 8 fences 18" to 2'3" in height.

Schooling will be allowed. Must be entered to school. No one allowed on the course without a number.
