Why
Wentworth Hunt’s hunter paces and poker ride are a great opportunity to ride our beautiful hunt territories with your own group at your own pace. All locations provide riders with miles and miles of beautiful wooded trails and fields with plenty of natural hunt-sy jumps off to the side of the main trail for those who wish to jump.

For our hunter paces, riders choose competitive competitive field (faster pace), hilltop (slower pace), or non-competitive divisions (any pace!). For our poker ride, you may choose any pace – the competition is in the hand you are dealt for poker game!

Questions?
Contact our secretary at: Secretary@WentworthHunt.org.
Our secretary has all the answers to your hunter pace and poker ride questions!
Ribbons are awarded for our hunter paces in the competitive field and hilltop divisions for the top 6 teams based on ride times that are closest to optimal hunt time. We hope to be able to score the event and distribute prizes at the conclusion of the pace, but don’t worry if you have to get home to do whatever it is you do when not riding. We’ll get the ribbons to you and your team!
Release Form
Click here for our online release form. All participants need to complete our release form before riding in a pace or the poker ride (if you have already done this in 2025, you are all set).
Negative Coggins
All horses need to bring proof of negative Coggins to the pace or poker ride. Their owners can help them with this, as most horses are notoriously bad with paperwork.
Attire
Of course, all riders are required to wear certified helmets and hard-soled shoes with heels. Safety first, people!

Our second hunter pace in our series is our Conservation Hunter Pace, Saturday, August 2, at wonderful Fine Nest Farm in Raymond, NH. Registration will be open soon! Check back here on our website, or join our mailing list (on the right side of this page) to get all the news about our paces, hunts, and other fun activities.
Why is this called our “Conservation Hunter Pace”? Hunt members Cody Cramer and Dana Zulager have developed a territory that has interconnected trails through wooded areas that cover conservancy land along the Pawtuckaway River, known locally as the Stingy River. One loop runs through land protected by the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire, and we enjoy riding around several hay fields at the neighboring Sullos Farm. Over 150 acres of Fine Nest Farm is in conservation with the Bear-Paw Regional Greenways. This is a very special territory and a treat for all riders.

Tuckaway Farm and Powder Major’s Farm together create an incredibly beautiful territory offering a course alongside babbling brooks and working farms, through wooded trails, and across large open riding fields. This course offers wonderful views of fall foliage throughout. The footing is always great, the jumps are plentiful and of all heights (and gappable, of course), and the fall weather always provides horses and humans with the best riding conditions.
