Playing in the Patapsco River on horseback If you enjoy riding horses on trails in Maryland, want to learn about great places to ride and would like to see these trails remain open to all riders, then you'll want to join TROT, the Trail Riders of Today.

We have a balanced calendar filled with interesting rides and other activities all over the state. We are developing an information resource about equestrian trails; to include directions, maps and resource guides. We maintain awareness of and educate our members to active trail issues since there always seems to be threats to the equestrian way of life.

We also support a well trained and active Search and Rescue team.
