Big Creek Trail Ride, near Hartshorn, MO

Been going to Big Creek for 5 years, twice a year. Still haven't ridden all the trails. There are very wide loggging roads that go on for miles, others will take you to the Current River, there are interesting sites to ride to such as Granny's Cabin, Nichols Cabin, Welch Springs and on and on. Some trails are very challenging with steep climbs and decends, others are gradual. All are very rocky so take appropriate actions to protect horses feet. Trails are not marked, so would suggest a GPS loaded with the National Forest Current River MO Map. The staff at Big Creek is very helpful. I've never had a respect problem. I do agree that the arena should be left open for guests to use and not house the trail boss horses. A round pen would be beneficial too for warming up green horses. Stalls are very safe. Organized ride food service is very good. If you can't fine something to eat, then your just plain too picky. Sites are close together, but not unlike any other trail ride places that have large organized rides. |
