Bring your own horse and explore how open space land was once used and how horses were key to meeting transportation needs. Equestrian docent naturalist Teri Baron and an assistant trail patrol volunteer will provide historical information about the ranchers in the area as you enjoy blooming wildflowers from the comfort of your saddle. Trails on this leisurely-paced ride with moderate elevation gain include Sunny Jim and Ancient Oaks trails. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after March 29 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close April 11 at 2:00 p.m.
