A hunter pace is a form of competition involving horses and riders. In a hunter pace a trail is marked for horse and rider to follow. On the day of the competition, early in the morning, the hosts of the event send an experienced horse and rider to ride the trail as fast as it is safely possible to do so. This morning ride is called “the dead body run”, and it establishes two things: 1. that the trail is clear and safe for the competitors and 2. The “pace time”. These will be further expounded, well kinda, on the next entry. Source:Wikipedia.org
