Whether you are an equestrian or not, we know horses are out on thousands of trails across America. In fact, 70% of the 9 million horses in our nation are used for recreational riding, and many millions more horseback riders are riding on recreational trails around the world.
How do equestrians, land managers, landowners, planners, landscape architects, civil engineers, and trail builders succeed in planning, building, using, and maintaining trails for the recreational riders and their pack stock?
Integrating equestrians into trails and transportation systems in urban, front country, rural, backcountry, or wilderness areas can seem like a daunting assignment to people unfamiliar with horses. This Webinar is designed to provide many of the answers to the questions about how to successfully include horses and riders into the trails environment.
Some specific topics that will be covered during this Webinar are:
