About Outdoor Trail Riding
Outdoor trail riding encompasses organized group trail rides, endurance-lite events, scenic rides, and competitive trail rides held on natural terrain. It is the most popular recreational equestrian activity in America, connecting riders with nature and community.
Organized trail riding ranges from casual group rides to competitive trail events judged on horsemanship, trail etiquette, and horse condition. ACTHA (American Competitive Trail Horse Association) sanctions competitive trail rides that test horse and rider over natural obstacles. Poker rides, moonlight rides, and charity trail rides attract riders of all disciplines. State and national parks, national forests, and private trail systems offer designated equestrian trails. Trail riding is the gateway to equestrian sport for many riders.
Outdoor Trail Riding riders can find saddle bags and hoof boots on TurnoutHQ, or make use of discussion groups for your discipline.
