TREASURE PACE
Combine your detective and equestrian skills for a morning of fun on a marked course across the lovely trails and variety of optional cross-country obstacles of Elysian Fields. Follow the poetic clues and collect the numbered bottlecaps to show that you have gathered all the treasures. An exciting challenge for both young and young at heart riders!

- Secretary’s booth opens at 8 am. Please register when you arrive with the names of the people who will be on your team. If you don’t have a riding partner and wish to be paired with someone, we can arrange that too! Take note of the number to call in case there is an issue while on course.
- Riders ride in teams of 2 or 3 riders. Teams can start their timed course between 9 am and noon. The order of go is on a first come, first served basis.
- Teams are given a sheet of clues and they navigate the course from one station to another, picking up a "treasure" (in the form of a numbered bottlecap) from each station. The team with all its "treasures" and closest to the optimum time wins.
- Collecting some "treasures" may require dismounting. Mounting blocks or nearby logs are available. A fun job for the young and young at heart riders!
