Hi, I've been eaves dropping on everyones conversations, just trying to get an idea of how this works. I have 5 horses, 2 ponies, 7 dogs, 1 husband and a marrried daughter. Luckily her husband rides (it would be a shame to leave him home with her father). I have very very few computer skills so please be patient.
Hi kitten_Val I live in the mid part of the state, about 40 min NE of Charleston, the state capital, near the New River Gorge National Park. Are you near where they filmed the WV episode of Trail Ride America last year. It was in the northern panhandle very near MD.?
Hi mam0329 What area are you from? What kind of riding do you do? As you may have guessed My favorite is trailriding. There is a big trail ride weekend of Oct. 2/3. near Pipestem State Park. We camp and ride all weekend. I've been going to it for 14 yrs. Very nice people, lots of fun but not for the faint of heart.
Hello guys. Im not from WV.. but all my family is. And I visit every year. Im hoping one year to bring atleast one of my horses and ride up there. It is very beautifull. As a matter of fact... I was just up there at the end of July. You all are very lucky to live there. Here are some pics I took while I was there. http://www.horseforum.com/horse-pictures/west-virginia-my-eye-63620/
I live 45 min North of Charleston. We have just 2 horses a 2 1/2 year old and a yearling. I am gonna have him started on barrels next year and we like to trail ride a little to. Just got back into horses not too long ago. The yearling is a piant and the 2 yr old is sorrel qh. Will try to post pic's. If you have facebook send a friend request to Melissa Miller in Charleston WV. I have a pic of my blonde haired blue eyed daughter up. lol Thanks guys
Most of those were taken in Jackson County.
Every year I go... I come back with hundreds of pictures. Being from ugly, flat Florida... I dont see that kind of stuff. It is really my goal to come up in the fall. I have never seen a true fall.
oh, you have to come in the fall. The leaves are just now starting to change color up on top and it's still green down on the river. You can see the season change as you go up the mountain. It's like time elapse. I live on the old Midland Trail near the New River Gorge Bridge. I believe it is the prettiest spot in the whole state.
Hi trailqueen ... I live in WV about 20 minutes north of Parkersburg ... We are getting a trail ride together for Sunday I believe out at Rails and Trails in Northbend State Park
I had a friend who moved to that area with her horses and she rode on those trails. She said they were great trails. I always wanted to come ride with her but she retired and moved to NC to live with her daughter. We are going to try to get to the Greenbriar Trail, maybe latter in Oct. It could snow up there by then tho. May have to wait till next year. There are so many places to ride around here we only go further afield for special occasions.
West Virginia has some of the BEST trails. Shoot I don't even have to go on a trail ride to see spectacular views...all I have to do is ride down my driveway and out the road a few miles...this country is amazing.
Normally the weather here doesn't get bad until around the first of the year. I say normally, however last year was the exception. But then it was bad everywhere last winter. I'd play it by ear and watch the weather channel. Let me us know if you should decide to come up.
OMG! I just found this forum last night (too late to post), and I am getting ready to do my intro! And I'm from WV too! YAY! lol
I thought no one would know anything about it. I'm located about 80 miles south of Charleston, right on the border with KY. And YES, it is beautiful here, but sadly, I have lived here my WHOLE life and haven't done much trail riding....
Anyway, SO glad to see other West Virginians here. I feel home already.
