Horseback Riding Trails
Many of the trails on TrailLink.com, particularly rail-trails, include equestrian use, sometimes in the form of an adjacent dirt or grass bridle path, sometimes on the trail itself when the surface is hospitable to horse hooves. Trails that market themselves as friendly to horseback riding will sometimes have parking areas that can accommodate horse trailers, hitching post areas, or will connect to a public or private horseback riding facility.
Public space for horseback riding is a dwindling asset and the equestrian community strongly supports their local trails that allow them access. Like most trails on TrailLink.com, the majority of trails open to equestrian use are shared- or multi-use. Right-of-way rules of thumb such as "bicyclists yield to horses and pedestrians, and horses yield to pedestrians" are good to keep in mind.
