Although trail systems are generally designed for multiple users (pedestrians, equestrians and mountain bikers), there are attributes in trail planning that must specifically address equestrian needs and safety. While all trail users can enjoy the same well designed and constructed trail, there are safety characteristics that must be analyzed and incorporated into the trail design to ensure the same level of safety for equestrians. Trails by Design has over 30 years experience with equestrian trail use requirements, staging areas and equestrian facilities and can ensure our client’s trails and facility designs will provide the highest level of safety for equestrians while providing a high level of user enjoyment and satisfaction.
