On Saturday we attended the LCH Hunter Pace in Cazenovia, NY.  Renee rode her beautiful gelding, Harangue, on a team along with Jamee on Taken Not Given, also owned by Renee, (in his first hunter pace!), and Claire on Farmer Jo, also owned by Renee.  We had a great ride and lots of fun!  Pat rode Geronimo, owned by Dr. Robert Kiltz, on a team with Cindy and her lovely pony, Rosey.  They also enjoyed an exciting and fun filled ride!

On Sunday, Claire and Geronimo, owned by Dr. Robert Kiltz, attended the LCH Opening Hunt in Cazenovia, NY.  The morning started with the Parade of Hounds through the village of Cazenovia, then went to the Lorenzo’s for the Blessing of the Hounds.  After the Blessing we enjoyed a very exciting opening hunt!  After a great ride, everyone attended the Hunt Breakfast at the Cazenovia College Equine Center.  What a wonderful weekend! Hats off to everyone involved with LCH- THANK YOU!

Chris rode Shadow and Jeff rode Mason as another team.  We had so much fun riding the 10 mile pace!  The views were great, with nice walks in the woods as well as beautiful fields with places to gallop and jump.  Thank you LCH for hosting such a lovely event!
