Community-run horse trails

© Jennifer SternMany rural communities that use horses or ponies as their primary form of transport have developed community-run pony treks. These are often more about the scenery and the local culture than about the horses. Although some may offer very comfortable accommodation in specially built, community-owned and –run camps, some can be quite – well rustic. It takes an open mind and a spirit of adventure, but many people find that spending the night in a village hut living very much as the villagers do is the most exciting and memorable part of their trip.
