Perrydale Trails is that place.
Perrydale Trails is a one-of-a-kind place to practice your horse on natural trail obstacles. There are gullies, bridges, gates, jumps, logs, water, rocks, hills, forests and animals. This is the real deal, not arena trail riding. Train, learn and enjoy ..... we provide the scenery, you bring your horse.
Perrydale Trails qualifies as an unusual success story. Several years ago, it occurred to me that there is no place for trail riders to practice on natural obstacles. Yes, you could travel to a variety of places to get experience, but typically the setting or safety options aren't the best. But, we could do it here on our farm! As a dedicated trail rider, I already had many obstacles in place. We added more and more, and soon Perrydale Trails became our Field of Dreams.
They did come.
2021 marks our tenth season, and we are steadily growing in popularity. 2016-2019, right around 500 new and repeat visitors have ridden here. 2020, we were down to 350 because of covid and the September fires. But still: people come because they've heard from their friends how much fun it is to ride here!
Our obstacles are designed to accommodate simple to challenging levels and to be safe. We have 175+ obstacles and scenarios in place. Throughout our 80 acres, areas are set up for trail practice, each with different obstacles, scenarios and terrain. No matter the discipline ridden, all horses benefit by the experience, and judging by the smiles of our visitors, they do too! Trying and accomplishing the challenges, riding in beautiful country, enjoying the camaraderie of friends, and hospitable hosts are a sure combination of good times for horsemen.
I am proud to say Perrydale Trails is unique .... there's nothing like us anywhere else!
Perrydale Trails is the perfect get-away place to gather with your horse pals. There's beautiful scenery, ample parking, plenty of room to ride and roam, shady lunch area, and fun to be had!
At Perrydale Trails, you have the means to create magic with your horse!
