2007 was the inaugural year for the Groton House Farm Fall Classic Three Phase, to benefit the Windrush Farm Therapeutic Riding Program. It is an excellent way for beginner eventers to end their summer showing season. We offer courses at the Elementary and Beginner Novice levels. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce your horse to Groton House Farm's beautiful terrain.
