Shelby Trails Park is a public park open to equestrians and hikers alike
As a trail rider or hiker, the park welcomes you to enjoy over 400 acres and 21 miles of beautiful trails! Our trail system has a bit of everything: flat easy areas, creek crossings, step over logs, good hills and more technical trails on the back side. Bring your horses or your hiking boots and take advantage of this beautiful park! If you own our own horse, all you need to do is buy a day pass located at the kiosk ($10) or year pass online.

As stewards of the land, Red Fern Riding Center acts as a concierge to the park in promoting the park and it's public and private services. Red Fern Riding Center offers an array of services from: guided horseback rides to the general public, to riding lessons, horse training and full-care boarding.

🐴🧠 HORSE FACTS!

Did you know horses can sleep standing up AND lying down?😴

Thanks to a special system of tendons and ligaments called the *stay apparatus*, horses can relax their legs while standing without using much muscle effort.

But here's the interesting part — horses still need to lie down to get enough REM sleep!

Just one of the many fascinating things that make horses such incredible animals. ❤️

🐴❤️ MEET THE HERD Tony the Pony & Wyatt !

These two are best pals, you have probably heard them calling for each other if they are ever apart for long, truly a perfect pair of goof balls.

Our Red Fern herd is full of unique personalities, from the curious and playful to the calm and dependable. Each horse brings something special to the barn, and we wouldn't be Red Fern without them! 🥰

We love sharing the horses that make our riding center feel like home.
