Directions to the National Equestrian Center: You can get to Highway 40/61 (40 runs north and south, and 61 runs east and west) from either I-270 or I-70. I believe these mileages are correct!! Also note: the directions may be different. ******There have been some construction changes, and I will update the directions very soon.******
Address: National Equestrian Center, 6880 Lake St. Louis Boulevard, Lake St. Louis, MO 63367.
From I-70: get to Wentzville and take the Highway 40 exit south. Go south 4 miles to the (new) Route N exit. At a stop light at N go right. Drive forward 3.6 miles, passing another light (at South Outer Road/Hawk Ridge), one more light, and a white vinyl fence will be on your right. You will start to see large barn roofs and a big blue sign for Hawk Ridge Feed Store. After you pass the entrance to Hawk Ridge Feed Store you will see a very small green street sign "Lake St. Louis Boulevard" on your right, and that is where you need to turn. The next right is into the National Equestrian Center parking lot. Our show is in the back, in arena B.
