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.  Special thanks to Barbara DeNitto, Marjorie Kittredge, the staff of Windrush Farm, DeeDee O'Brien and the staff of Ironstone Farm.
