Are there some bridle trails, extensive or not, in the Lexington, KY area? Could include Georgetown, Versailles, Paris, Midway, etc. Thanks!
I like to go to Eagle Creek in Sadieville.
You can also ride all over Masterson Station Park in Lexington. There is sorta a trail around the outskirts of the park. There is also a jumping ring, a couple dressage arenas, schooling rings, and cross country jumps everywhere.
South
Maybe an hour south of Lexington is Logan Hubble Park. It’s off 27 between Lancaster and Stanford.
Check out the
state parks, there’s a ton of them and horse trails are the norm. Plus beautiful and scenic!
Shaker Village has a beautiful trail loop, “Shawnee Run” I think, well worth the drive.

Eagle’s Nest in Harrodsburg is nice, but privately owned
Masterson of course, but not really “trails”
Logan Hubble just south of Lancaster is nice, not huge, but nice enough. Sort of hard to navigate where all the trails are.

My favorite-- Cave Run near Morehead. Absolutely gorgeous, part of the Daniel Boone Nat’l Forest. Some trails are moderate, some are more advanced.
Taylorsville Lake, west on 64 then south to Taylorsville. Nice well maintained trails.
There is some place in Georgetown-- not sure that it has a name really-- where they were planning to flood a huge area to make a resevoir, but there was something that stopped them, native forest in the middle I think… anyway, now there are trails all through that area, and horses are allowed.
