Sue Brainard Memorial Fall Hunter Pace
2025-09-21 09:00 - 15:00 | Douglas State Forest, 107 Wallum Lake Road, Douglas, MA, 01516, United States
Ride sponsored by Fidelity Bank
A hunter pace is a marked course through the trails with varying types of jumps. All jumps are under three feet and have an optional “go around”. One can ride solo or in teams of two or three.
We offer four divisions, with three different paces. The Hunter Division is the fastest division (mostly trotting & cantering and some walking). Hilltop and Junior are the middle speed division (mostly trotting with walking & cantering), and Trail Blazer Division is the slowest division (mostly walking & trotting).
The pace is set before the ride and riders don’t know what the optimum time is for each division. Your mission is to come as close as possible to the optimum time.
This is New England so the terrain can be quite varied. Trails will cover nice wide rail road beds to narrow single track trails.
Out on the trail, use caution when passing other riders, slow down and call out your intention to pass. Never pass at a canter. If you knock over a jump, you must reset that jump. Ride is held rain or shine unless there are torrential downpours.

Location: 107 Wallum Lake Road, Douglas MA
Price: $35 for BSTRA Members, $45 for non-BSTRA Members. Meal only $10, Juniors 17 & under FREE (if pre-registered they get their meal free too)
Pre-entries include meal. Pre-entries must be postmarked by Sept. 17th.
Times: Registration starts at 9:00 am You must register before tacking up
Start times: 9:30 to 11:30am (no late entries, no exceptions)
Trailblazer’s on course by 10:30
Lunch after the ride and awards given out.
Required: cleaning up your hay & manure from the parking areas.

National Trails Day
2025-06-08 09:30 - 15:00 | Sawyer’s Field Hubbardston, 49 Root Road, Hubbardston, MA, 01452, United States
Ride Sponsored by: Whitehorse Truck & Trailer Service and Sales
Bay State Trail Riders Association, Inc. (BSTRA) is planning a 33rd Anniversary Celebration of National Trails Day on Sunday, June 8th in Hubbardston MA. We invite you to come out and join us for this opportunity to ride the beautiful trails — and to participate in our other festivities being held at this event.
Why such a big celebration? Because if there was just one day of the year that defined what BSTRA is all about, it is National Trails Day!
It is in that spirit of National Trails Day that BSTRA holds an annual NTD fundraising event to raise money for Massachusetts trail projects.
How to Participate
There are two ways to participate:
(1) Pay the registration fee to participate: $40 BSTRA members, $50 Non-members, children 17 and under ride & eat free (if pre-registered), and $20 for lunch only.
(2) Get your NTD Sponsor Papers in advance and collect tax-deductible sponsor contributions for trail improvements. There is no registration fee when you collect $100 or more on your NTD Papers. (Checks are to be made payable to BSTRA, Inc.) The five participants bringing in the largest dollar amount in sponsor contributions will each be awarded prize packages to thank them for their efforts. Click on NTD Papers below to print out your papers so you can start collecting sponsor contributions at your convenience. NTD Papers and collections must be turned in at the registration table by 11 am in order to qualify for awards.
Regardless of which way you choose to participate, 100% of the money raised from this fundraiser will be used for trail projects.
Location: Hay field across from 49 Root Road, Hubbardston MA
NEHT Affiliated
Ride length: 7+/- miles
Timing: Festivities start at 9:30 am with registration check-in. NTD gift bags for the first 50 registrants.
Lunch will be served at noontime, followed by awards and a large raffle.

Ride sponsored by Hope Botanicals & Crothers Tire
Please join us on this fundraiser ride. 95% of the land that we will be riding on is protected by the land trust. We will be splitting the proceeds with Wyndham Land Trust to benefit the work & land protection that they do.
Is this a win for us and them? YES. They allow horseback riding on their property and we have several of our members that are also members of Wyndham Land Trust to help with this partnership.
The Wyndham Land Trust is working hard to protect land in the Quiet Corner of Northeast Connecticut.
The land trust was incorporated in April 1975 and the first parcel was protected in 1977. Today, the WLT is protecting over 5500 acres in north eastern Connecticut.
Partnerships are a great thing for horseback riders!

Trail Work Morning Grafton MA
2022-10-15 08:30 - 12:00 | Soap Hill Road Grafton, 8 Soap Hill Road, Grafton, MA, 01519, United States
Event Sponsored by Visimark & Ocean State Equine Associates
Please join us to put the final touches on the work that has already been done on Hinterland Trail in Grafton.
I would like to use the small stones that were pulled out of the trail surface and place them on the sides of the trail. With 7 to 12 inches of fill, we have sides and this would help retain the trail surface where it belongs. I would also like to place some stones where we ended the trail work to harden the fill that was placed to divert the water off to the side as opposed to running down the trail.
I will be bringing a wheel barrow, pick axe and a shovel. I ask that you make sure you have gloves to protect your hands.
TIME: 8:30 check in with work starting at 9am.
LOCATION: Soap Hill Road, Grafton MA. If you are coming in from George Hill Road, go .34 of a mile and turn left down cart road. IF you are coming in from the other end off of Mechanic Street, go .9 of a mile and take your right down the cart road. (I will have signs up where you have to turn).
Please fill out the “attending” form below so we can plan accordingly.

Trail Work Day BSTRA property Douglas MA
2022-09-24 08:30 - 12:00 | BSTRA Property, 80 Depot Street, Douglas, MA, 01516, United States
Event sponsored by New England Drywall & EquidDoc
The connector trail work is done. We just need to finish up the smaller loop trail.
8:30 is check in time. Working from 9am to 12pm. Lunch will be provided for volunteers.
Location: Depot St. Parking lot trail head for SNETT. 80 Depot St. Douglas, MA

What should volunteers know about the location?

The address is for GPS purposes only. The parking lot does not have an official address. Across the street from 80 Depot you will see the entrance to the parking lot on your right which is just past Rail Road Ave.

What will volunteers do?

We will be clearing small trees and brush to finish the small loop trail. What we clear to make the trail will be taken off the trail and placed into the woods out of the way. There will be one or two qualified people using a chainsaw to take care of the bigger downed trees. If time permits we may have those cut up before the event.
When you arrive you will check in and everyone will receive safety instructions and work instructions ie: how to properly cut brush at ground level, how high to clear, and how to trim up trees.

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?

We will have water available, but you can bring your own when out doing trail work. Please wear appropriate clothing, long pants, sturdy shoes (no sandals). Work gloves. If you have long handled loppers, hand saw or pole saw, those would be welcome.

If you can join us on this work day, please register so we can have a head count and plan accordingly.
