Trails Abound

It's warming up all over the Northern Hemisphere and the one thing coming to many equestrian minds is the idea of trail riding. But where? Shall we go on the usual trail ride in the usual place? Or should we take a trip to a place far off in the mountains to enjoy God's country with God's noble creature - the horse? Whatever we decide, we should look into the many possibilities, from memberships of organizations to camping grounds for the occasional or independent trail rider.

The following are from all over the world. Although the majority of the services are from the U.S., there are some which provide services for other countries, and some provide services for many locations throughout the world. Be sure to check out the recommended sites.

Many equestrians have competitive blood and find that competition can make anything much more fun. There is even an organization for those trail riders possessing the competitive spirit.
