What are Trail & Leisure?

Trail Leisure groups non-competitive outdoor riding activities centred on relaxation rather than competition. Subtypes include Trail Riding, Pleasure Riding, and Beach Riding, each set on dirt trails, forest paths, or sandy shores. Riders typically rely on calm, sure-footed horses comfortable at a leisurely pace. The emphasis is on personal enjoyment and connection with nature, not structured sport.
