| Dave,
Would you know of someplace in the Sudbury/Stow area to rent a horse
for trail rides? I don't have a horse but I have ridden Western
and English for several years now and I would love to use these
trails that you spoke of in .0.

| I know how you feel about riding alone. Until this summer (when more
women started to lease horses at my barn) I would take my horse,
Jasper, (yes, another Jasper) out by myself.
I was concerned just in case something happened to me or my horse but
if I waited to find a companion to go out on trail .........- I'd still
be waiting. About the only thing I do when I ride by myself for any
great length of time , more than 2 hours, is to inform people
approximately where I'm going and for how long.
Now that there are more people to go riding with, I tend to enjoy it
more, especially when we get to all the jumps we've set up out on
trail. When you ride along, you always have in the back of your mind,
what if......
re .0 Hope you find other people to ride with! Enjoy the fall before
hunting seaon starts.

I currently ride in the Littleton conservation land and cross
over to harvard and Ayer and I also do trail rides with
the Harvard Horse assoc.
I have lived in Littleton all my life but really find it hard
to find some interesting trails. My horse is great on the road but
would love to find some new trails.
Glad to know there is some one else out there with me.

RE:2
Toooooo late. Hunting season started and last weekend I had a
heck of a time getting Jasper by a sand bit full of people
hunting bottles. What a sport. Those bottles don't stand a chance!

Hi Dave,
Yeah, I know what you mean! Is there anyone out there that lives
in the West Concord N.H. area? My neighborhood has several horses
but I've yet to meet up with any riders yet.
I have a horse and a rather large pony if there are any experienced
riders out there that would like to ride with me but don't have
their own horse.
Good luck in your search Dave, sounds like you have great trails
around your area.

| Hi,
My name is Judi Babbit and I have just found the notes files on
equitation. I am not real sure on how to use them yet. I have recently
moved to Groton MA. My sister has bought an old farm house with eight
acres of land. I have always loved horses and I have owned a couple of
horses in the past. I have never had any lessons, I have been riding
for over ten years for fun. I have boarded my horses in the small barns
in the Chelmsford/Westford area. When my sister bought the farm I decided to
move in and get another horse. I was given a 1/2 morgan and 1/2 standard
bred cross in April. Rusty is about 15 and 14.2 hands. He is very sweet
and gentle. I was looking for people in the Groton area to ride with.
I ride western and trails. Although he Rusty has beeen ridden and shown
Engligh before. There are some great trails in the Groton, Mass area.
I am also looking for someone else to help me ride and care for my horse.
Since I am working and also in school for one more year, I do not get to
ride as much as I would like. My horse is starting to get board and is
chewing on the fence so I am looking for some help in entertaining him.
This is the only bad habit Rusty has. He picked it up from my girlfriend
horse when we spent a week at her house. I may also be interested in
getting Rusty a companion. Does anyone know of anyplace that rents out
trailers? I have a camp in the white mountains and I am interested in
taking Rusty with me for my vacation in August, if I can find a trailer.
Please call or write to me if anyone is interested in riding or knows of
any companiions for my pal. My node is ASABET::BABBIT.

Hi, Judi - if you want to get to know the trails and horseowners
in the area, I suggest you contact the Littleton Horse Owners
club. Probably Ann Lawrence in Littleton, Judy Lorimer in Pepperell,
or Gail Greenlaw in Groton. I don't know their street addresses
or phone numbers, but at least one of them ought to be listed.
The club has a lot of people with many different interests. They
meet once a week and have people in to do talks, or do other things.
But most of all they do lots of trail riding, and organize and attend
lots of pleasure trail rides. Most of them keep their own horses
at their own homes, and I know I learned a lot from hanging out
with them!
I haven't seen them for a while, but tell them Julie said Hi!
