Gallery: Your Favorite Trails

Stuck at work? Tired of sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen? We totally get it—we’d rather be out trail riding, too. We don’t condone lying to your boss about an emergency at home and then ditching work to go ride (we don’t condone it; however, we won’t tell anyone if you do it.) But surely no one will mind if you take a couple of minutes out of your otherwise highly productive day to go on a virtual trail ride.



June 4 was National Trails Day, so we asked our Facebook community to share photos from their favorite riding trails. We’ve included a few of our favorites here. If you’ve got a favorite equestrian trail, share a photo with us!
