Horse Trail

Author: Lyndall Harned

Planning Unit: Boyd County CES

Major Program: Equine

Plan of Work: Animal Agriculture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Horse ownership and related activities are increasing significantly Boyd County. Due to this, our programming addressing the needs, concerns, etc. of the horses and of the horse owners, are increasing. One of the activities that is very popular with new owners is trail riding. This is an activity that many families enjoy together. This is the activity that many new horse owners are buying their horses to pursue. So with that, naturally, comes many new and inexperienced riders taking to the trails. Towards addressing the educational needs of these riders, from trail etiquette, to safety, to emergency horse first aid, and other things trail riders need to know, we have built a learning trail on our property. This was built by volunteer from the Saddle Club and the community. The trail is a little over a mile long and 'rides' will be held, taught and lead by experienced Extension volunteers for young and old alike to help them learn to enjoy, safely, trail riding.
