Trail Symposium
June 8-10, 2018
Conservation and Proper Use of Trails
T
he Trail Symposium off ers every topic imaginable about trail riding, horse camping, and the preservation of our trails. The majority of horse
owners are trail riders—and trail riders today are continuously challenged with losing trails throughout the country. At Horse Expo, politicians and trail enthusiasts gather to discuss how to keep our horse trails open and maintained, now and in the future, and how to work in harmony with state and federal offi cials who oversee many of these trails. Politics aside, the Trail Symposium also
features experts who teach planning and preparation for the trail, taking the mystery out of campfi re cooking (including cooking everything from biscuits to cakes in a Dutch oven), and where the best horse camping spots are. Want to learn about horse camping proto- col? The Trail Symposium covers all aspects about horse camping, including trailering advice, portable corrals, feeding and watering in a camping situation, what the U.S. Forest Service requires regarding feed and hay, and wildlife information.
