I have an awesome place to trailride. I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Most people think of that as ocean beaches (which it is) but we have over 1,000 acres of wildlife preserve to ride in. It's an incredible place - the wildflowers and grasses change every few weeks - we have great footing and see deer, foxes and many bird species. It's a little bit of heaven!

We can also trailer 10 minutes one way to a town with a outdoor arena we can use, or the other way to another town with an outdoor arena. Also, within 30 minutes distance, there are two other lakes with other trails on them.
I have been to NE Oklahoma and it looked to me like everyone lives by a pond and not more than 10 mins from an arena. That is very horse friendly country.

My girls live with my mom in Fountain Hills, AZ. It's a rural community - but there are only 3 horse properties in the whole town! So needless to say, unlike some of your situations, horses are not always welcome. But I can't complain on not having to pay board! ;)

We have to ride on the road to get to any sort of trail. But luckily there is a national park about a 10 minute ride from the house.

Here are my trails:




The main loop is 7 miles, but I have to ride a few miles to get there, so I ride about 10 miles a day. There are shortcuts and extra trails, though, so sometimes it's shorter and sometimes it's longer.

Everything inside the red lines is where I ride. My property is the horizontal strip that sticks out on the right. To give you an idea of how big the space is, look at the houses lol.

I live in a world where I have the best of everything! Here are some pics of one of the areas that I ride in. In the distance of one of them you can see the ocean. There is a good riding beach a ten minute float ride or a 2hr horse ride from where these pics are taken. Closer to the coast the terrain flattens out into rolling country - easier to get a bit of speed on but not quite as challenging! If you look closely at the pics you may be able to see some trails.
