With 1700+ acres of private grounds, Trace Trails is a beautiful and fun place to ride. Sandy trails thru woods, meadows, creek crossings. No shoes required.

This is a “Casual Competition”, not a race or timed event. The trail can be completed liesurely with plenty of time to smell the roses and visit with friends.

And remember up to 50% of ACTHA proceeds go to Horse Charities in your state. Heaven knows they need the help!
