I’ve been visiting Cedarock for years to ride. It’s close and a short nice ride. The trails are good for getting horses in shape. BUT..as time goes on the trails are in need of maintenance. I also don’t like that hikers share the horse trails. People coming up unseen or heard is spooky to horses. Dogs that aren’t use to the horses are spooky and some times dangerous bc owners are having to hold them back from going after us. Considering there are hiking trails, it would be nice if horse trails were left to horses.
Apart from that, the parking area is large and nice. It does fill up on the weekends, in the morning hours during summer. The trails are doable for barefoot horses that aren’t sensitive to some rocks. There are water and bridge crossings and many hills. Don’t go if it’s rained recently bc the trails are muddy and slippery.
Again, it’s a great place to ride but needs proper trail maintenance so the land doesn’t get messed up and horses don’t get injured due to slippery spots (especially in the beginning part after rain).
