From the early 1900's through the 1960's, Gathering Farm was owned by the Clark Family. As a successful racing facility, the original farm sat on over 100 acres of land and was home to a mile long race track and several breeding and training barns.
In the 1970's the US Equestrian Team (USET) moved their head quarters to the farm. Under the tutelage of the famous Jack LeGeoff, riders from all over the country came to Gathering Farm to train in the sport of Eventing.
In the late 1980's the farm was purchased and Advanced rider Jim Stamets became the farm's resident trainer. During the 15 years that Jim was at Gathering, the farm maintained its serious competitive focus and fun family atmosphere.
In 2001 the farm was purchased by the Bartolotti family. Leslie and Tony Bartolotti continue Gathering's tradition of offering a premium boarding and training facility. With the addition of Resident Trainer Babette Lenna in 2009, the farm continues to maintain its role in the New England eventing community.
