PIPESTAVE HILL EQUESTRIAN AREA:

SUMMER UPDATE:
The cross country jumps are now open, except for any jumps that are tied off. 

The rings, trails and fields are open for your hacking pleasure ONLY when the footing is firm enough... please use mowed paths only in every field. Please be considerate and do not damage the footing. Trailer parking is in the gravel parking area near the rings, accessed through the main entrance. Please remove all your hay and manure when you go, as we share this area with other activities.

MILL POND AREA: Please WALK only near the pond and roadways leading to and from the pond. This area is too congested for any other gait and there are many families with young children and dogs there that are not familiar with horses.  Horses are no longer allowed to wade near the dock area. There is a separate area beyond the telephone poles.

The West Newbury Open Space Committee now has their own website.  This is a real bonus for equestrians as there are descriptions of all the trails on town-owned and otherwise preserved land, including some maps.  Check it out!

THE MISSION OF THE WEST NEWBURY RIDING & DRIVING CLUB

The West Newbury Riding & Driving Club (WNRDC) is a group of horse enthusiasts (actively riding/driving and non-riding/driving as well) who seek to preserve and improve riding opportunities in West Newbury, organize riding activities with other members and the general public, and just enjoy relaxed horse-related friendships and social activities.

The town of West Newbury is also now part of the Essex County Trail Association (ECTA). Like WNRDC, ECTA is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of open trails in its local communities for the purpose of passive recreation and the benefit of the environment.
