WNRDC is a non-profit social organization which promotes, improves and preserves riding opportunities

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 West Newbury Riding & Driving Club (WNRDC) 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 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 the Pipestave Hill Equestrian Recreation Area and be able to 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. Activities during the year usually include:
* Regular meetings, often with a speaker or activity
* 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
*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
* Make substantial donations to W. Newbury service organizations (Police, Fire, Library, Emergency Management, Open Space Committee, etc.) and other local equine organizations (NEER, Windrush Theraputic Riding, MSPCA Nevins Farm, etc.)

Times and finalized XC maps are posted to the website! www.wnrdc.com/PHHT

We sincerely appreciate your patience as our entirely volunteer-run team has had to deal with broken XC fences, downed limbs, torn up footing, and missed cleanup days as a result of last weekend's storm. Our STELLAR volunteers pulled it all off and the course is looking AMAZING for tomorrow! We can't wait to see you out there!
