If you are a trail horse enthusiast, your dreams will come true June 9 - 11, 2017, at CalExpo where the 22nd Annual Horse Expo will present the Trail Symposium all three days. Trail experts will be speaking and presenting solutions on horse camping, trail riding, and everything you need to know before you go out on the trails. The Trail Symposium also features experts who teach how to properly tie a horse to an overhead line, how to safely tie to trees (in ways that protect the tree too), taking the mystery out of campfire cooking (including cooking everything from biscuits to cakes in a Dutch oven), and where the best horse camping spots are.
The Trail Symposium Presenters:
George Archer - Horse Packing
Dennis Serpa - Back Country Horsemen of California
Lucy Badenhoop - Plan Ahead and Prepare
Jerry Heitzler - Mules on the Trails
Samantha Szesciorka - Long Distance Riding
Teresa Spencer - Horse Safety
Janet Peterson - Park Watch Report App, Safety on the Trails
Chip Herzig - Pacific Crest Trail
Debra Mason and Denise Zavat - Dutch oven open-fire cooking
Carrie Johnen - Gentle Use Principles and Planning for a Disaster
Carolyn Gilmore - Wildfire Preparedness
The theme this year is Conservation and Proper Use of Trails
The Trail Symposium offers every topic imaginable about trail riding, horse camping, and the preservation of our trails.
The majority of horse owners are trail riders — and trail riders today are continuously challenged with losing trails throughout the country. At Horse Expo, trail enthusiasts gather to discuss how to keep our horse trails open and maintained, now and in the future, and how to work in harmony with state and federal officials who oversee many of these trails.
The Trail Symposium covers all aspects about horse camping, including trailering advice, portable corrals, feeding and watering in a camping situation, what the U.S. Forest Service requires regarding feed and hay, and wildlife information.
