Equestrian Trails Update

Latest update from Shynne Nirvana.

*You can find our page here: https://www.driversofsecondlife.info/p/equestrian-trails.html

6.2.2022

The Places to Ride list was originally released in the past by Cerdwin Flanagan. This was such a great idea for both the Teegle Community and the SL Equestrian Community in general that we felt it would be great to keep it going. With that in mind there are a few things to make note of before we get into the locations and what they have to offer. 

In addition to this notecard, we also recommend checking the Locations to Ride section of the Teegle Blog & Catalog which can be found here: 

https://www.teeglepet.com/blog/categories/riding-locations

- This list started as a personal list compiled by Cerdwin Flanagan. This was not and still isn't in association with any place, creator, or group. If you would like your place added, have a suggestion, or would like to remove or change/edit your listing please contact. Thank you!

- These places are costly to keep after and most of them have areas where you can donate to their land fees. Please consider donating to help keep them open. Donations also help show your appreciation, and anything helps. Always keep in mind to follow the rules of these locations and try to be respectful of their environment and what they have to offer. Remember: Without these locations we wouldn't have many places to ride at all!
