TRACE PACE- 2025 Date TBA
🐴The Trace Pace is simply an organized drive to provide whips of all skill levels an opportunity to drive a measured course of varying terrain. The course will be between 5 and 8 Km (3.1 - 4.8 miles). The route will be properly marked and entries will be timed. The ideal time(s) for horses and ponies will be posted on a similar basis to ADS Pleasure Marathon Pace. All turnouts will be accepted. Must provide proof of negative coggins (2023 or 2024, must be current year for out of state equines) and 2024 Rabies vaccine.
🐴For the Trace Pace, whips are to drive with their equine's training and conditioning taken into account. Grooms are encouraged for all turnouts. A safety inspection will be done for each turnout and SMV signs must be affixed to carriage/cart. Helmets and spares kits are recommended.
