Anyone else here camp with horses?

[trailrider]

My horse trailer is de-winterized and cleaned up. Horses are shod. Got some clothes and groceries packed. I'm Brown County bound this weekend.

Anyone else here do any trail riding? I usually just go to Brown County but have been a few other places. I've been thinking about checking out Hoosier Horse Camp(private owned). Years ago I went 2-3 times a month, last few years it's been more like 2-3 times a year. Looking forward to getting out a little more regular this year!

If by “camping” you mean Marriott, and “trail riding with horses” you mean picking up a fat chick in the hotel lounge, then, no!

Yes we used to go to Cow Camp every year in Mcbain MI.

Its was always more fun for the wife.

I'm not into bestiality, so nope can't say I camp with them

If you're in BC and at a hotel, watch for people trying to blow themselves up. If you're on the trails, watch for rattlesnakes (probably too cold) and meth heads and try and eliminate all you see. Killing the snakes might be illegal but for the best (just keep your mouth shut), and the court system down here for the meth heads is laughable so you'll be doing us a favor

I will say though the horse trails probably have less pot holes than our roads

I’ve always loved horses and camping, but since I’ve never owned horses I only enjoy the camping part. I’ll camp as primitive as sleeping on the ground next to the fire or in a motor home with all th3 comforts . I just love being away from the city and out in the woods.
Have fun trailrider!

Check out the Henryville state park, has its own horse campground and trails.

Can still ride. People are always amazed that I can talk horse. I guess I don't give off that vibe.

The HNF has places where you can ride and camp. Turkey season will start in two weeks though so you might have to share some of the woods with hunters.

Used to camp with the in laws at Maumee and ride in HNF. Father in law has dementia now but I bet he could still find his way around all those trails he knew them so well. Maumee is a private camp ground and has very limited amenities. we always enjoyed it though.

I deserve that after re-reading the title.

I did camp at HNF(Blackwell campground I think) several years ago during turkey season. They also had a Boy Scout camp going on same weekend. Interesting mix of folks.

Yellowwwod State Forest was always my favorite place to horse camp. Often I would be the only one there. There were too many partiers and "cowboys" in Brown County for my tastes.
I also camped in Blackwell and Maumee in HNF except back wnen I camped there water wasn't readily available in Blackwell. I don't know if it is there now.

Back in the day we rode Brown County State Park, Yellowwood State Park (Brown County) , Hoosier Horse Camp (Norman Indiana) and Midwest Trail Ride (Norman Indiana) Seems Hoosier Horse required both state and federal passes, nice to ride but ups the cost a bit. Midwest was nice and has little cabins you can rent, a mess hall and a stall for your horse. Yellowwood can't remember a lot about been to long ago.

The partying was why I liked Brown County 15 years ago. Lol. It seems a little more calm these days. OK with me as now I go with my wife and Grandson more. I've not been to Yellowwood but I have a buddy that has. Might have to check it out. Like the idea of small crowds.
HNF is still BYO water. Not a big deal but a little inconveient. I do like the riding.

Deam Lake has cabin/stable combos you can rent and trails to ride. I don't have horses, but have rented other cabins there and walked the trails. It's a smaller state park, but nice.
