Hunter trials are an informal cross-country competition.
Riders will be competing for several awards. The Clayton E. Bailey Challenge Trophy will be awarded in the green working hunter class in honor of the popular former Lynchburg horseman. The Executive Challenge Trophy is awarded to the field hunter champion in memory of the National Champion show horse, Executive, who later became a good hunting horse. The Margery Babcock '49 Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the rider who demonstrates the best horsemanship riding cross-country in the championship class. Spectators are welcome as guests of the college.
