Gorgeous Horse Park (Pics)

MissBandit · 03-31-2004, 11:02 PM

I posted this in an earlier thread but nobody saw it...
This is the Equestrian Center and Park that we ride at. There are miles and miles and miles of trails and cross country fields. It's really horse heaven. There is even a garden dedicated to horses that we have lost. Beautiful statue and fountain surounded by plaques and touching messages (no pics of that, sorry) - I had to share!

"The main equestrian trail around Campbell Valley Park is about 12 kilometers, and it takes about two hours to go all the way around (There are several other trails that branch off as well). There are no roads to cross, and no traffic to worry about. During this ride you will pass through cool forests and wetland marshes, cross open fields and bridges, and ride through a water splash. Cross some of the open fields, and get a view of the North Shore Mountains and Mount Baker."

We have several parks for riding, I go to Tyler Park mostly. Though there is no view of mountains like that there! Those are beautiful.
