Windrush Farm

4295 Barber Road, Metamora, MI 48455

The site for both of MCDA's 2010 competitions, as well as other club activities, is Windrush Farm, situated in the midst of Metamora Horse Country. The 300 acre farm is owned by club member Barbara Chapman and her husband Frank Andrews who graciously allow us to play with our horses and carriages on their property. The original house and barn on the farm were built in 1860. Recently, a magnificent, Kentucky style barn, complete with indoor driving arena was added.

The site facilities available for the club's competitions include:

A permanent full sized (100 x 40 m) grass arena for dressage and ring classes,
A large grassed area for cones classes,
Seven permanent obstacles and miles of driving trails for marathons or cross country classes,
Temporary stabling with stalls under tents and horse or carriage wash racks.

The countryside surrounding the site contains many picturesque unpaved roads which wind throughout fenced horse farms and are ideal for carriage driving.
