Where:

The 2008 Fall Equestrian Tournament is taking place in two locations again; making it possible for two shorter shows and lessens the burden for our four-legged volunteers. Programs will not be split up so coaches will not have to travel twice, with the exception of Challenge Unlimited. Special thanks to Barbara DeNitto, Marjorie Kittredge, the staff of Windrush Farm, DeeDee O'Brien and the staff of Ironstone Farm.
