Anyone who enjoys trail riding will tell you that a good trail horse is worth his weight in gold. A common misconception is that if the horse isn’t good enough for any other sport, he will be fine for the trail. This is not necessarily the case. A good trail horse is born and trained as much as any other performance horse.

Once I have a horse with these traits, I begin to work on other training that will make him an excellent trail horse. Without question, I require that my trail horses are able to:
People riding in different terrains will most likely have different sets of criteria. I think it is very important to identify your particular needs before you go looking for a trail horse.
Age vs. Experience
When looking for a trail horse, age is always a factor and younger is not necessarily better. I personally prefer to buy a horse that I can get on and ride from day one. But other people like to train their mounts rather than correct someone else’s training. If I find the right young horse (one with the qualities I first mentioned), I am willing to put in a little time on him. I don’t fancy myself a trainer, but in these situations, I think there is nothing better for young horses than to be out on the trail behind a steady, experienced horse. I have a favorite trail for training young horses. It is fourteen miles round trip and offers a variety of experiences including creek crossings, a short bridge and mud.
