Where:

The 2010 Fall Equestrian Tournament is taking place in two locations again, making it possible for two shorter shows and lessen the burden for our four-legged volunteers. Programs will not be split up so coaches will not have to travel twice, with the exception of Challenge Unlimited.
 
Special thanks to Barbara DeNitto, the staff of Windrush Farm, DeeDee O'Brien and the staff of Ironstone Farm.
 
Also for this year, Equestrian will be quotaed.
