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. To see the scope of our activites, please see our 2009 Accomplishments.

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 certified Search and Rescue group.

If you wish to comment on the site or problems with it, report broken links or just make a suggestion, then please contact our webmaster. And do consider joining TROT; membership information is online.

TROT participates in and encourages you to join these YAHOO mail groups:

  • The Maryland Trail Riders group is for equestrians who want to share information and news about Maryland trails, find a trail riding buddy, arrange transportation to a trail ride or other horse miscellania relating to trail riding in the state.
