What do you wear when you Event/endurance race?

Don't want to sidetrack Hidalgo's thread, but am very curious as to what kind of Hunter Paces you all have in your areas.

In my area, the Hunter Pace is a timed event, sort of like a poker run. You're given a description of a *foxhunt* - following the descriptions, you pick up poker chips at each checkpoint. Closest to ideal time, usually set by hunt staff, wins. It's supposed to be a test of your knowledge of the hunting territory and feel for pace. Really nothing like xc at an event, but a boat load of fun.

We also have Hunter Trials, as distinct from Horse Trials. Hunter Trials are held in a large open area over natural obstacles, and are like a shortened xc course, but are judged subjectively, on jumping form, manners, style and suitability to be a field hunter.

That's really cool. Especially the Hunter Trials. If I ever see that at a show I'll definitely sign up for it. :)

Ours is very similar to a long cross country course...they give you a map and number the jumps and they don't tell you what the optimum time is but you have to get as close as possible to what you think it is :) they time your team and closest team to the optimum time wins and placings go out from there :)
