Synopsis

This is a trail horse riding book on -- where to go and how to get there -- in the State of Washington. When you want to discover new areas and trail ride, important questions become: Is there a wide selection of trails to ride, can you make loop rides, and how difficult are the trails? Is there a place to camp with horses? How do you drive to the trailhead? Also, this may be the first trail riding book that has a chapter that presents the basics on how to use a Map and Compass. Included in the book are trail descriptions, trail riding tips, descriptive trail maps, horse camp descriptions and locations, horse camping ideas, a stock first-aid guide presented by veterinarian Dr. Greg Fischer D.V.M. and more.
