Our team is hard at work to continually add additional verified horse trails to our directory. For March 2023, we added nearly 300 verified horse trails to the Top Horse Trails directory. These horse trails were all ridden and verified in February 2023.
How Do We Get Verified Horse Trails?
We have a sister company called Top Trail Horse (www.toptrailhorse.com) where trail riders compete based on miles ridden for awards and prizes, track their lifetime miles, annual miles, and even miles per horse.
In order to participate, each rider GPS records their rides and then uploads them to the website to enter that ride into the competition. Prizes are given for most miles, most miles per rider + horse team, and we even have monthly contests via our Facebook Group. Plus, riders contribute to the Top Horse Trails trail directory by submitting rides and trails on public land or publicly accessible locations. It's a win win!
Want to help document horse trails AND win awesome prizes? You can join in the fun too! Visit www.toptrailhorse.com and click Sign-up to become a member and win prizes just for trail riding.
What Goes Into Verifying The Horse Trails?
Each trail has already been ridden by another rider and verified as rideable. Then, each month we download all the trail rides that were on public land or publicly accessible and check each one for public land / private land boundaries, where the best trailer parking is, and other information about the trail and park. We take all that information and load it into our directory so you can easily search horse trails near you or wherever you're traveling.
