Harwood, MD · At our farm
Do not own a horse? Start here. Private, instructor-led guided rides through our own wooded trails — everything provided.
Lothian, MD · Patuxent River Park · ~10 min
The closest real trail riding to us. Quiet, sandy woodland trails above the Patuxent, with a pull-through trailer lot — you do not have to back up.
Upper Marlboro, MD · ~25 min
Open, gentle and scenic — a flat stretch of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area route, with big-sky meadows and easy going for newer riders.
Pasadena, MD · ~45 min
Handy county trails at Lake Shore and the Magothy Greenway. Walk-only, sunrise to sunset, designated routes — well kept and gentle.
Southern MD · ~50 min
A short hop south to dedicated equestrian trails that fly under most riders' radar — quiet, pleasant and rarely crowded.
Central MD · ~50 min
The big one: 170+ miles of trail with roughly eleven horse routes. Rocky climbs, river crossings and real elevation for a fit horse and confident rider.
Baltimore Co., MD · ~70 min
About eighteen miles of trail with long sight-lines over fields and river bottom — a steady, pretty, slightly wild sightseer's ride.
Montgomery Co., MD · ~75 min
A perennial favorite in rider polls — 50+ miles of well-marked, rolling trail through woods and farmland. Ride a different loop every visit.
Howard/Montgomery Co., MD · ~75 min
Wild and undeveloped — 6,700 acres and 25+ miles of natural-surface trail with stream crossings and few amenities. Bring everything; the reward is solitude.
No trail matches every filter yet. Try removing one — or ride with us, no horse or trailer needed.
Every public trail here assumes you bring your own horse. If you would rather we provide everything, book a guided, instructor-led trail ride at our Harwood farm.
