Ride them as you please. We will rebuild but that could take a while so we
don't do any guided rides right now. If you will be using these trails, if you have any questions email me .

This wood trail can be accessed by sec. 3 or sec. 4 in their
corners. This wood trail offers a little more challenge to the horse and rider. The end of trail number
5 (meets a closed off paved road) or trail beside road either one leads back to Hwy. 81.
Cross over to old abandoned Rail Road trail. On this RR trail
make a left -North when getting on the trail and will bring you north back by trail 3 and trail 2 or into town marked
by red line breaks. * There is one house near town that is very close to RR trail and can be a little unsettling
for some horses, around house includes chickens. In general just stuff close to trail, and some times a car. You can go out
on the side of Hwy. 81 to avoid this little section..About 100 feet to go around it. |

|
| The family who lives there is very nice and we
try to avoid any problem that would change that. |

| Be forewarned.
|
|
|
|
| These sections are for experienced Riders and
Trained Horses. |
|
|
|
| Meaning,
your horse needs to do what you asked, and you the rider need to be able to ride the horse through. |
|
|
|
| It's no cake walk if you ride this trail, but
still a good trail. We suggest caution to any of section 6, 7, 8 If you want to try them.
|
|
|
|
| These sections are used as training areas for
us and you will be in a very thick area with not much room for error and no help around for miles. This area is
at the very back of the trail system. A real good plaqce to test your horse and your training out. You will find just
about anything you want to look for and some things you don't. |
|
|
|
| Safe riding and always remember to tell
somebody when you head out into any remote area riding. |
