Lessons on the Trail

We offer a unique feature of having direct access to extensive trail riding on adjacent Wolf River Wildlife Area (Chickasaw Basin Authority) – over 900 acres with trails on natural preserve lands/wetlands (equestrian trails maintained with assistance by Shelby Farms Equestrian Alliance volunteers). We also offer trails on our own 25 acre farm property. SCF Trail Riding wolf_river_wildlife_area_map

Guided Trail Riding “Lessons on the Trail” are available! As we continue to grow this exciting opportunity, the Wolf River rides are currently only offered on a limited basis and to those who have demonstrated their riding ability in the arena in previous lessons &/or on shorter rides. Riders who are less experienced but still want to experience a trail ride will enjoy lessons that begin in the arena and then finish on a ride through our wood and field trails. Please contact us if you would like to know more and set up a ride.

 

Please note: There are NO horse rentals and all rides are structured as lessons with a trainer to guide and instruct you along the way.

Read some info available on the internet re this trail system:

Collierville’s newest park contains over 2,000 acres of woods and wetlands along both sides of the Wolf River. The 5-mile crushed limestone trail is open 7 days a week from dawn to dusk and can be accessed at the Collierville-Arlington Rd. bridge where there is a gravel parking lot on the north side of the river. The park can be accessed at its western end from Bethany Rd. Eventually, the trail will extend for 8 miles to Houston-Levee Rd. The farm fields north of the woods are now open for hiking and biking. The map below shows a trail on the farm roads. There are two parking areas off Collierville-Arlington Rd.,one on the north side of the bridge, and one farther north at the main trailhead. On the map, TR-1,2,4,5,6 all represent the tributary weirs. There is no hunting and no ATV (four-wheeler) use allowed.  Day-use only. The County sheriff’s deputies have begun checking the parking areas after dark.
