I have several trails on my property, and I have trail/road combos off property. For great trails, we have to haul anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour.
AkPaint, I always wondered about horses and Alaska. MY wifes Sister and family lived in North Pole for 19 years and then spend 5-6 years in Eagle River before retiring to St George UT, I used to go up every summer and go fishing. But always wondered how the horses would do in that enviroment.
Gosh. Loads of places. Here we can ride wherever we want, there are no bridleways (like in the UK) amd I ma lucky to live in the heart of the countryside. So basically there are so many trails to choose from that I could do a different one every day if I wanted to. Through valley, forests, hill tops! Today I was out for a few hours and we rode up and up into the hills...it was lovely and we were so lucky with the weather...17 degrees and its November!
I occasionally Trailer to Brighton, Allegan,kesington, Waterloo and I also have some trails about a 1 mile from my house that I can ride too and that will go for about 60 miles.
When I visit my parents in Alabama I go riding with some friends about 15 minutes from my parents home. We also ride in the Talladega National Forest around Hollins, Al. It's beautiful country there. Here in SC I usually ride on the trails around the barn where I board. There isn't much there. This past weekend though I was able to take Cope for the 1/2 hour trailer ride to Manchester Forest where we rode an 18 mile ride with around 150 other riders. It was fun!!!

I also live in alabama..lol..just thought I would say that.
When I visit my boy-friend&horses in South Tunisia I ride very sandy trails, into the Sahara.
Please wish me luck on my very first Saharatrek this December!
