Windchase is located on Kidwell Road in Hillsboro, VA. This is a unique chance to ride over the beautiful rolling hills of western Loudoun County, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, while competing in a fun and informal atmosphere.
The Windchase Cross-Country Derby course will go out across our 100-acre-plus XC course, going from field to field. Courses will be approximately two miles long. Participants may ride individually or in pairs.
The course will include water, banks and ditches, as well as some foxhunting type obstacles. All courses designed to be confidence building and inviting, and you have the option of jumping fences a level lower or higher than your entered division.
More photos of our XC course can be seen
here.
We will have a division for Pairs, where two riders go out together (and hopefully come back together too!), as well as the regular individual classes.
Divisions:
Intro/Elementary: Fences not to exceed 2’3, speed 275 meters/minute
Beginner Novice: Fences not to exceed 2’7, speed 325 meters/minute
Novice: Fences not to exceed 2’11, speed 375 meters/minute
Training/Modified: Fences not to exceed 3’4, speed 425 meters/minute
PAIRS - Two horse/rider combinations go out together. Choose your jump heights, pairs can be mixed. Choose your optimum time target.
Classes judged on closest to Optimum Time and jumping penalties. In all divisions, if you choose to jump a lower or higher option that is fine. If you skip a fence altogether that is OK too, a small time penalty will be added to your time. Lead horses will be available if needed.
