Marlboro expands as new riding stables open on the Ost Road near Wayside Inn. The opening marks Marlboro’s rise as a horse center, complementing the existing Marl organization and activity in the area.
The Whip and Spur Stables led by Arthur Smith and A. J. Lombardi of 25 Boston Post Road will create Marlboro’s leading equine hub with a large land tract, barns, two riding rings, bridle paths, and state land access. The venture offers a riding school, public horse rentals, and weekly Wednesday auctions run by Harold Ryder of Melrose, with horses sold on consignment. Lombardi, a Marlboro native, has a decade of racing experience and once rose to prominence after a Man o War purchase with Boston College classmates.
In the plan a teacher Mr Smith will run the riding club while Mr Lombardi trains high class horses for future professional circuits. The project aims to boost entertainment and tourism in the area and support camp profitability with outdoor activities. Co directors include Miss Patricia White and Stephen MacDougall with Edith Whitman and Carl Isle listed as nature counselor staff.
