On my list for 2006! Any friends go?
It's time to do a bit of shameless advertising for my beloved Perrydale Trails. For our 2026 season, we'll be opening Memorial Day weekend. It may be sooner; it all depends on the weather. No worries, you'll be the first to know!
For the folks who have yet to visit us, here's a bit more background information:
Perrydale Trails in Sheridan, Oregon, is an unusual success story.
Many years ago, I realized there really wasn’t a place for riders to safely practice their horses on natural obstacles. You could travel around to different trails to gain experience, but the settings and especially the safety, often weren’t ideal.
So we decided to create that place ourselves.
As experienced trail riders, we already had obstacles set up on our farm. We kept adding more… and more… and before long, Perrydale Trails became our very own Field of Dreams.
They did come. We’re now in our 14th season, as each year more horsemen discover what we’ve built here.
Across our 80 acres, you’ll find over 200 thoughtfully designed obstacles, ranging from simple to challenging, always with safety in mind. Our unique scenarios help build confidence, skills, and experience – for both horse and rider.
In addition, we offer 50 acres of peaceful, scenic trails to explore. Overnight camping is available if you’d like to stay a little longer to ride, visit, and enjoy our peace and quiet.
No matter your discipline, horses benefit from this kind of experience, and judging by the smiles, riders do too. There’s something special about trying new challenges, riding in beautiful country, and sharing it all with friends.

I’m proud to say Perrydale Trails is truly unique… there’s nothing else quite like it!
