Item Description


This Summer, Go to New England's Largest Hunter/Jumper Competition!

Why go to Vermont to ski in February or leaf peep in October when you can go in July or August and watch the exciting $30,000-$50,000 Grand Prix AND support Lucky Horse Equine Rescue???

You’ll be staying in Dorset (near Manchester and Mt. Equinox) one of the prettiest locales in the Green Mountain State, and just eight scenic miles from the show.

High bidder wins any two consecutive nights between Wednesday, July 4th and Sunday, August 12th, 2012...to be scheduled directly with property owner.

You will also be given TWO admission tickets good for entrance on any ONE DAY of the show.

You’ll enjoy your stay in a 3-bedroom (2 w/queen beds, 1 w/single bed), 2-bath single-family home (photo below) breathing fresh Vermont air, barbequing on the deck’s gas grill and taking in the  beautiful views of the Green Mountains. Linens provided. And then, there’s the Vermont Summer Festival with its magnificent hunter/jumpers competing for more than $750,000 in prize money!

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.

When the day's events are over, the nearby towns are full of New England charm: historic homes, quaint country inns and taverns and stores—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, in-line skating and more.
