EARLY SUMMER  UPDATE:

THE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  CLEAN-UP DAY WILL BE RESCHEDULED LATER IN JULY.  Please come help us that day so you can enjoy it all season!  Check Club Calendar at upper right for more info. 

PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF THE FOOTING IN THE RINGS AND ON THE PATHS AT THIS (STILL!) SOFT, WET TIME OF YEAR!  Damage done now is very hard to repair!!

PLEASE DO NOT LUNGE in the rings at this time of year!

Check here for opening date of the course in late spring or early summer.

The rings, trails and fields are open for your hacking pleasure 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. NEW!! 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.

Activities during the year usually include:

  • Quarterly newsletter
  • Regular meetings, often with a speaker or activity
  • Trail and beach rides
  • Maintenance and improvement of the Pipestave Hill Equestrian area
  • West Newbury trail network maintenance, improvement and observation
  • Organizing and running the Pipestave Hill Horse Trials Series - two low-level horse trials (combined training) events open to the public
  • Pleasure Show and Adventure Trail discounted to members and volunteers
  • Shot & Dental Clinic (at reduced rates for W. Newbury horse residents only)
  • Compilation and posting of the Local Equine Activities Calendar (a free publication listing all local equestrian activities, all disciplines included)
  • Annual winter pot luck dinner and summer BBQ, and other social gatherings
  • Mounted and/or unmounted clinics for members only
  • Substantial donations to W. Newbury service organizations (Police, Fire, Library, Emergency Management, Open Space Committee, etc.) and other local equine organizations (Windrush Theraputic Riding, MSPCA Nevins Farm, etc.)

We always welcome new members, both from West Newbury and other towns. Though we run horse competitions, most of our members are not competition-oriented. We organize the two horse trials eventing competitions to keep our exceptional facility active and as our only source of income to be able to continue to improve it and do the other activities listed above. We are both lucky and unique to have both riding rings and a small cross-country course on town-owned land and we work very hard to preserve and continually improve the facility. Times change and West Newbury is growing as well. We want to keep West Newbury horse-friendly and fun, and have a great time enjoying each other's company.
