TRAIL MILES |
|
WHY DO WE TRACK TRAIL MILES? It is necessary to track the number of miles ridden and which trails are used in order to inform both state and local officials of the importance of bridle trails to the horse community. You don't have to be a member of OHC to report trail miles ridden. The receipt of state and local funds depends on the respective park officials' knowledge of trail use. Let's show the Metroparks and the State that we are here and riding!!
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE MILES? Drive beside a section of trail in your car and note the one mile mark. Now, ride the same section on your horse at a walk and see how much time it takes to ride the mile. Generally, a horse walks between 2 to 4 miles an hour and will trot 4 to 6 miles an hour. You know if your horse is a fast walker or just ambles along. Estimate how far you travel per ride and record your mileage and in which park you rode.
