The Vermont Summer Festival Horse Shows
are a chance for equestrians to spend July and August where the
summer is its most beautiful: Vermont's Green Mountains. Quaint
New England towns of the Manchester
& the Mountains area, noted for their charm, first class
accommodations, world-class dining and excellent show facilities,
host the fourteenth annual Vermont Summer Festival.
The Harold Beebe Farm in East Dorset is the perfect site for the
six weeks of competition. Its lovely peaceful view of the Green
Mountains, just off scenic Route 7 North, offers a well equipped
hunter/jumper facility. The show grounds boast FIVE all weather
rings, including one of the largest Grand Prix fields in New England,
as well as several all weather schooling and riding areas, permanent
wash racks, paddocks and extended trails for casual enjoyment.
When the day's work is over, the nearby towns are full of New England
charm: historic homes, quaint country inns and taverns, many comfortable,
friendly places to stay and dine. Manchester is known throughout
the region as the home of world-class shopping! You'll find everything
from couture clothing to gourmet food to antiques and handmade arts
and crafts. You'll find over two dozen designer outlets in Manchester
including top names like Brooks Brothers, Jones of New York, Coach
and Ralph Lauren. This mecca of summer recreation runs the gamut
from hiking the Appalachian Trail to golf, tennis, canoeing, hunting,
fishing, in-line skating and more. |
