Horseback Trail Safety Tips

Before you begin exploring on a designated equestrian trail, you and your horse should be in excellent physical shape, and you should be prepared for the trail’s terrain.
Please connect with the park directly on horse camping and any trail regulations.
Wear a helmet and appropriate footwear with a small heel to protect feet from slipping through the stirrups.
Carry a small first aid kit.
Bring enough water for yourself and for your horse.
Do not ride alone and tell a responsible person where you are going and when you will return. Ask that person to notify local law enforcement if you do not return on time.
Stay on the designated riding trail and observe all signage.
Bikers and pedestrians yield to horses.
Travel at a safe speed. While on a multiuse trail, announce yourself when approaching others.
