“The terrain and the views are spectacular on this 30,000 acre historic ranch. Each loop will take you far into oak savanna that looks like it did in the days of the Spanish rancheros. Come be an inaugural rider on the 25, 50 mile or 8 mile Introductory Huasna Endurance Ride!” Says Kathleen Phelps the ride manager. Get your entry in by February 10 and mark your calendars for April 9 & 10, 2022.
Equestrians were not invited to provide input regarding a trail set aside for equestrian use only. Once equestrians got wind of the planned change to the Live Oak Equestrian use Only Trail they sprang into action. Their efforts resulted in turning away mountain bikers for the time being. However, now the trail is open to hikers for a period of time as a pilot program. Get the updated information about the Live Oak Equestrian Trail and plan for a big ride coming up.
