WNRDC is incorporated as a Massachusetts non-profit organization Section 501(c)(3).
Members do not have to be residents of West Newbury, Massachusetts or active riders. Our mission is to preserve and improve riding opportunities in West Newbury, Massachusetts, organize riding activities with other members and the general public, and just enjoy relaxed horse-related friendships and social activities.
We are 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.
We run horse competitions but most of our members are not competition-oriented. We organize two horse trials eventing competitions to keep our exceptional facility active. As our only source of income, we are able to continue to improve the Pipestave Hill Equestrian Recreation Area as well as organize other equestrian oriented activities. 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.
