Come ride the Coyote loop trail at Bridle Trails State Park. This loop trail.is marked really well with permanent posts. Some posts have maps on top with "you are here" and direction to parking lot. This loop trail is fairly wide and well maintained. The new trail marking system of posts are really good and this is a great winter-worthy trail.
Free refreshments including coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and carrots for the ponies.
Enter a raffle to win one of three annual 2026 Discover Passes. These passes provide free parking at any WA State Park. One raffle ticket entered for every loop ridden. Winners will be drawn after the event is over and will receive their Discover Pass in the mail. So, no waiting around for all the riders to come back!
This is a "weather permitting" event, (we are not crazy). If roads or trails are icy, snow covered, or it is pouring rain, event will be cancelled. Check here day of the event for status.
If your New Year's Resolution is to ride more, or do more fun events with your horse, this is a great way to start the year.
