I know Texas is a big state but I thought it would be nice to have a thread so Texas folk can communicate and get to know each other.
This can be a place of just getting to know each other, discuss our horses, share ideas, or knowledge, keep each other informed on events, functions, sales, news, etc.
What do ya think? Check in and let's begin!

Hi Texas folks. I'm pretty new to the board and found this thread, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I live in Forney on 2.25 acres and have one horse (3/4 arab mare) with whom I've done a couple of 25 mile LDs. I moved here fairly recently, and haven't found any trails closer than ~30 miles away (lake Lavon) so I'm rather warily riding on the streets around here. If anyone has heard of trails within a reasonable distance, I would be eternally grateful to find out where they are.
I live 2 miles from lake lavon but no of no other trails . How far are you from Cooper Lake? There are some trails there.
I have no idea where Forney is. Shalom
I looked up Cooper lake, and it is very far. Forney is south of Rockwall, west of Terrell, east/southeast of lake Ray Hubbard. I actually am just a few miles from Ray Hubbard, but that lake doesn't appear to have trails.
Welcome, SilverKelpie! I was going to suggest the Trinity Trail at Lake Lavon also. I've only done the Sycamore trail north of Highland Park, but would like to ride from Brockdale Park both directions. I drive from the midcities but it is easy since I take the toll road. There are equestrian trails at Lake Bardwell by Ennis, but that would also be a drive for you. I'm used to driving up to 2 hours one way for a good day ride.
DBA, you are only 2 miles from Lavon??? If only I had known! I ride the Lavon trail alone all the time, and wish I had someone to ride with out there, since there are supposedly a lot of wild hogs in the area. I use my bear bells and keep my fingers crossed and so far have not run into anything other than armadillos and a red fox once. If you or SilverKelpie want to go ride, let me know and we'll meet up.
Ya'll just keep going on about how ya'll don't got any trails nearby, leave us poor folks over here in the boonies to be envious of the trails ya'll do got! LOL I hadn't made a post here in awhile, so thought I'd stick my head in. Happy thanksgiving weekend everyone!
DBA, I am working every day for the next three weeks, and then have two weeks off. If I go out to Lavon it will be early on a Saturday or Sunday morning so I can get back to be at work for the evening shift. If a 9 a.m. ride is OK with you on a weekend, let's do it!
I don't have a truck currently (a trailer, but no truck), but if I have enough advanced warning to arrange something (borrow from a friend...or maybe rent a pickup from U-Haul? Is that too weird?), I would love to meet up at Lavon for a ride with you and/or db!
SilverKelpie, most of us on this thread belong to our HF.com Texas Horse Friends group on facebook. We have become pretty good friends and even get together.
I'm only working two days then I hope the weather will finally be nice enough to head to the barn. I can do cold. I can do wet. But, I can't do both! Posted via Mobile Device
I know we always need rain in Texas, but I'm so over the mud.
