Who has showed at Our Farm since the management change? I am very curious to hear what you think. It's a bit of a hike for me now, but if the improvements are good I want to check it out.

100% better! The ring is brighter, new jumps, and better footing. Somewhat deep in spots, but they'll get it right. They are willing to listen, take constructive criticism and are very exhibitor friendly. :cloud9:
Check it out... you won'rt be sorry... and they split the divisions if they have the numbers. :clap:

I've heard good things...I haven't been there this winter, but my trainers practically live there this time of year.

My fondest wish for Our Farm is that they find a way to stop the random crap that drips down off the ceiling onto your head...blech. :lol:

I was supposed to go yesterday to help a friend who was going to ride - but she decided not to go because she was sick all week. I was excited to go because I am new to the area and wanted to see one of the places that some of you have mentioned. Oh well.

I've also found that the in gate guy responds very well to flattery and/or bribery.... :P

It has become a pleasant experience once again at Worcester stables. Horse Shows have to realize if they want to survive, they need to be exhibitor friendly and have good customer service.
Hats off to the Benson's and their team ... and also the new Worcester Farm management group. :clap:

Still random dripping, but it has really been cleaned up, brighter, and a new snack area.

The footing was terribly deep and I think they might have only went in to drag one time in a 12 hour day.

I also got yelled at by one of the show managers. I was asking a legitimate question about my division to the starter, when the manager chimed in and went off on me. I highly doubt I will go back, and I've been showing there for at least 15 years. :angry:

I've heard they are going to remove some of the footing -- They want to use it in the new warmup ring they're planning to build outside -- The new management at Worcester Stables has been very open to suggestions --

I agree with cleaner, fresher, updated... Definitely a step up from where it was. However, it doesn't feel dramatically different to me since the Benson's are still the people with whom you interact from a show management standpoint.

My trainer was bending their ear about adding a second indoor since our zone could REALLY use that sort of winter season show facility for those of us who don't go to Florida or would rather not.

So, since they are open to suggestions, let's start a campaign... :clap:
