Upcoming Events
September 6th- Spurwink Farm Ride/Drive and Derby Clinic
The Spurwink Farm Recreational Drive is coming up on September 6th. See the above entry form and prize list. Spurwink Farm is a beautiful farm nestled right by the Ocean in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. You will travel through apple orchards, forests, rolling fields, and beach side paths. This is one of two events the Maine Driving Club will be hosting at Spurwink this year, the other being October 18th. We will have 8 stalls available for those traveling from a further distance, for both events ($40 per night and by reservation). Please email anna.bigelow.94@gmail.com or mainedrivingclub@gmail.com and Anna will respond to you there with any questions about stabling or about either event. Although the above registration form is for the September 6th event, we will also accept entries for the October 18th date. Both events will have trails. The current plan is to host a recreational drive/ride and a derby clinic on September 6th. On October 18th we will have a fun cones course and a trail ride/drive. Riders will be welcome to go on the trails for both events. Please get your entries in soon, because the September Spurwink Trail Drive typically gets 30-40 entries and we do have a limit. We hope you will join us - Spurwink Farm autumn drives are events not to be missed. Note: Entries are accepted via email or mail. Payment via check or paypal. We look forward to seeing you there!
