    THe dressage starts at 8:00 on Friday. Also, if coming southbound
    on 95, take route 133 E, go south on route 1, left on Ipswich road,
    right on Winthrop Street to end, left on HIghland St, its 1/2 mile
    on the left. These are the directions from the Omnibus so hope this
    helps for those southbounders!
    
    Have fun to all who go and Sherry, good luck to your instructor!

    P.S. For those going by Flying Horse Farm, take a glance at the
    enormous drop type fence which is in the fields (partially obscured
    by the trees), definitely a BIG fence!
    

    I am trailering my friends brothers horses this weekend from
    Ponderosa 2 stables in Ashland to somewhere in Sudbury.  Being
    new to trailering, I don't like to bring my trailer to an area I am
    not familiar with.  Does anyone know of the exact location of this
    stable?  Landmarks?

    It's on Rt 126 in Ashland.   If you're coming through Milford
    it will be on the right hand side of 126 right before the new
    shopping center.  I think there is a Shaws' and a Papa Gino's
    in there but I haven't been down there in a while.
    
    Across the street will be a huge field with 
    lots of new houses set up on a hill (they may even be building
    in the field by now).
    
    There is usually a sign on the street for the Ponderosa.  I
    know the place sits up on a hill off the street.
    
    

    I do not know if this is the same place....but I seem to remember
    years ago that it was located on route 126, if going from Ashland
    to Holliston that direction it was on the left with a steep dirt
    driveway kid of a mud hole.
    
    Know this may not be the same place where you called it "2" I just
    knew it as the Ponderosa.
    
    I would suggest that you talk to the friends of your brother, and
    ask them exactly where and what the driveway is like and what room
    there is for turning.

    RE: .9
    
    I was also concerned about not being able to show Adult Eq (it's
    unrated AHSA, but rated NEHC), so I called before sending in
    my entry.  The answer was that it is not a problem, and if it
    is, they will let me know.  If it's a problem, I'll probably
    switch to the A/A division.  
    
    Has everyone noticed that I mis-stated the dates in my original
    message?  It's May 26-27, this Saturday and Sunday.  Saturday
    will be mostly kids - ponies, equitation, hunters.  Sunday
    will be mostly adults - hunters, but including green and non-TB
    hunters that anyone can go in.  The jumpers are also on Sunday,
    exciting!  There is a parking fee of $3.00 per car.
    
    With three rings going at once, there is a lot to watch.
    Directions:  FROM 495:  Take 109 East exit, to Medfield Center,
    turn left onto North St.  Showgrounds will be on left.
    FROM 128: Take 109 West exit, to Medfield Center, then right
    onto North St.

    Okay, we had success with the "Norfolk Hunt Horse Show Roundtable,"
    let's find out who is going to Worcester Foundation Auxiliary's
    19th Annual Benefit Horse Show (that's a mouthful!) this Sunday,
    June 3 in Shrewsbury, Mass.
    
    It's got to be a lot of you, because with five rings and everything
    from Arabians to Western Pleasure and the rest of the alphabet
    in-between, it must cover the gamut of horse-noters.
    
    I will be showing Cody in Adult Amateur Hunters and Equitation,
    with my coach Bart Massucco from "Daybreak Ventures."
    
    Anyone else going?  Give the details.
    
    Directions:  The Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology
    (showgrounds) is located on Maple Ave. in Shrewsbury.  Maple
    Ave. is west of Shrewsbury Center off Main St. (left turn), or can also
    get to Maple Ave from Rt. 9 just east of Spag's (right turn).  
    
    Jennie                                   

    MASS Pike west to 291 Bypass South. This will put you on Rt 91 South.
    Take the next exit - comes up verrrrry quick. cross over the river
    into West Springfield, straight thru the Roatery and procees straight
    ( I think the route is 147) You will see the grounde a few miles
    in the left.

    Directions To Big E
    
    Take rte 3 South to rte. 495
    Get onto rte I-290 (Towards Worcester)
    To MA Pike  West
    Follow the Signs to the Big E
    Good Luck 8)

    Can someone please give me directions to the
    Bolton Fair that is going on this weekend. 
    I willl be going 495N.
    
    Thanks

    Get on Mass Pike east towards Boston.  Get off Pike at Rt. 128/30. 
    Stay on Rt. 30 - I belive 128 goes off to the right and 30 is straight
    ahead.  At light at intersection of Pike and 30 take a left.  You will
    immediately come to another light.  Take a right here.  Regis College
    is on this road.  Should be signs all over the place.  If not sure, ask
    the toll collector.
    
    Kris

    
    If you are in the Littleton, Westford or Acton area going 495 to the
    Mass Pike is the long way around. Take Rt 2 or Rt 3 to 128 south to
    Route 30. There are surface roads you can take but since I don't know
    the names of them I won't attempt to tell you how to use them.

	Does anyone have directions to Sunshine Farm in Natick, MA??? I'm
	going over to watch for a couple of hours on Sunday but I've forgotten
	how to get there :^(

	By the way, anyone going to be there? 

	Linda

    
    		To get to Tri-County (aka Three County) Fairgrounds;
    
    	Mass Pike to Rt 91 North, third exit, follow signs. Or,
    	Rt 9 direct to grounds, follow signs. In both cases, you
    	can see the grounds from the highway, it's hard to miss.
    
    	Sherry
    

    Re: .17
    
    Where are you coming from?
    
    Sunshine Farm is off Rt. 126 in Framingham (or you can come in from
    Speen Street).  If you are in the Center of Framingham heading towards
    Ashland, take a left after the RR tracks (can't think of the name -
    it's Rt. 135). At set of lights take a right (go by White Hen and
    Grossmans).  Stay on this road for about 1 1/2 -2 miles.  Sunshine Farm
    is on the right.  Restaurant is at top of hill, fields are down dirt
    road right after the restaurant.
    
    Kris

    To Sunshine Dairy & Farm off the Mass Pike -
    Get off at 1st exit west of 128 - keep left, go to Speen street light -
    Go south (right) on Speen St. - cross Rt.9, cross Rt. 135,
    3/4 mi. - Speen Street appears to split at a Y - bear right at Y -
    Sunshine is 200 yd on your left.

	Re: .19 and .20...

	Thanks for the directions! 

    can I please get directions to the show being held on May 5th
    at the Westford show grounds (reining show)
    
    
    		thanks
    
    	
    		wendy o'
    

    Directions from Rt 110  (get to Rt 110 from your favorite exit off
    495)  If you come off Rt 119 exit from 495, take a left at the lights
    on 110.  Continue through LIttleton into Westford.  You will come to a
    set of traffic lights in Westford; keep going straight on 110, past the
    Westford shopping plaza.  Take the first right after the shopping plaza
    on South Chelmsford road.  Fair grounds is about 1-2 miles down that
    road, on the righ.  Can't miss it.
    
    If you get onto 110 from the exit after 119 (heading North) you will
    come to the lights mentioned above in Westford.  Left at lights, go
    past shopping plaza, right on So. Chelmsford Road.

    	There is a trail ride at Plymouth Fair grounds on MAY 16,
    	does anyone know how to get there from Chelmsford MA?
    
    	Thanks
    	Donna

    The Plymouth, NH Fairgrounds?
    
    Karen

    yes.. 
    
    	The plymouth nh fairgrounds
    Donna

    Take exit 26 off route 93.  Go back under 93 and take what looks
    like another offramp, and says Route 3, Plymouth.  At the end of that
    ramp you are across from McDonalds, go left and take your first left.
    Go down that road, and take a right, (don't remember the name of that
    road though).  The back entrance to the fairgrounds will be on your
    left.

    Does anyone out there have real good directions to the 4-H
    Youth Center on Rt. 13 in New Boston NewHampshire?
    
    	THanks....Michele

    Is the 4-H Youth Center the same as the New Boston Fairgrounds?
    
    From where will you be traveling?
    
    Vicky

    I'm coming from Westboro, MA.  (Rt 495)
    
    I'm not sure if it's the same place.  It's got an indoor and outdoor
    arenas.  There are also cow barns and places for the 4-H stuff.
    
    Michele

    Yes, it is the same place. I know exactly where it is, but I dont know
    how to tell you to get there from Westboro MA, I dont know where THAT
    is. :-)  It's called the "New Boston 4H Youth Center", and it's just
    outside the center of town in New Boston. I know that doesnt' help
    very much. :-)
    

    From Westboro:
    
    Either take Rt. 495 -> Rt. 2 -> Rt. 13 North or
    		Rt. 190 -> Rt. 2 -> Rt. 13 North
    
    Rt. 13 will wind around up through the backcountry :-). I'd estimate
    that it will take about 30-45 minutes from the N.H. border.
    
    There are a couple of potential tricky places. In Lunenburg,MA,
    Rt. 13 briefly joins with Rt. 2A (at the first stop SIGN after
    you get onto Rt. 13). You take a right to stay on Rt. 13 and then
    a left at the Exxon station.
    
    Watch for police while going through Brookline,NH (the first 
    town over the MA/NH border).
    
    When you get into New Boston (you'll pass the Molly Stark Tavern
    on your right), watch for signs to follow Rt. 13 to the right
    over a river. The fairgrounds are about 1/2 mile down the road
    on your left at this point.
    
    You can also take Rt. 495 -> Rt. 3N -> Rt. 101W -> Rt. 114W -> Rt. 13S
    but I don't know the landmarks very well in that direction.
    
    Vicky
