| I knew the prior owners when it was called Cashel Farm. I don't know
how it is run now with the present owners but I undertsood they are
"in" to eventing. It has a modern indoor ring and attached stable with
some more stalls in an older barn attached to the main house. I think
there was about eleven acres on the site all told, so there was room
for turnout, but, again I don't know how it is run now. Trail riding
would be still be feasible from the stable but more restricted due to
new housing developments than when I used to ride my horse over there
from Groton to visit my friends.
It's one Route 113 just east of Dunstable center about 3 miles west of
Route 3.

My brother considered boarding his gelding there but decided not
to. The facilities are excellent, but the owners have VERY strict
rules. The ones we did not agree with were that I could not ride
the horse unless he was present, and where I show this horse a lot
that is too inconvient for our situation...and they will not allow
anyone to ride who is not related to the owner unde ANY circumstances.
ALso, this horse is on red cell per the vet, and they will not allow
it. They will not allow us to bring extra hay in, either , nor to
choose the kind of feed he is on. Also, this horse cannto be
cross-tied, he has had several bad experiences and is terrifeid,
although he stands on one tie quite nicely. But they said no way
to that, her exact words were "He will cross-tie here or else!"...
They do not allow any horse to ahve rear shoes, do to the fact
that they are all turned out together. Boriums are allowed in winter
on the front feet only. You do not have the option of refusing turnout
and putting shoes on all four. Shoes ont the front only, and tht
is that.
So, dependinh on your own needs, ti is a VERY nice facility, very
clean and well kept....the board is 325.00 I believe, and there
are jumps available, and it is vry quiet there. Depends on what
you are lookign for, we did not agree with all the rules and went
elsewhere.
Good luck!
