Description:               The land we will be riding on is agricultural farm land.

There are thousands of acres of blueberry producing land with rolling hills and panoramic views.

It is made up of both small and large growers.

                         It is rich with history.

The roads vary from rocky, with small stones and soft sandy patches.

Shoes or boots for you horse is a must as it is frowned upon to ride on the blueberry land. Unshod or unprotected horse’s feet will cause your horse to want to head for the softer ground.

Please be smart…protect your horse!


I have placed an order with Mother Nature for the most spectacular weather but, in case she is being disagreeable, please bring water proof blankets for your horse as there will not be cover.  You will also need to bring all necessary fencing material as there are no trees for highlines. Bring all the feed you will need for all the horses in your party.

Non-potable water will be provided for your horses.

Portable toilets will also be on site.

We will have a tent for meals.

There will be one or two designated fire pits. We have been graciously given this land to use for the weekend, therefore, we will not have fires all over the owner’s field. Thank you for understanding.

Friday and Saturday night dinner is included in your reservation cost.

Other Entertainment TBA.


Cottonwood Camping and RV Park is just a mere 10-minute drive from our camping spot. All amenities at Cottonwood Camping and RV Park will be discounted for anyone wishing to come early and or stay late. 

Should you need to dump your camper waste before heading home or just need to shower Cottonwood will be delighted to accommodate.

Our farm is also available just a few miles away as well for those needing a paddock with lean-to prior to, during or after the event.


Make this trip worthwhile.

Consider it a vacation and book a few extra nights at Cottonwood Camping and take in all the sights Downeast has to offer.
