Perrydale Trails LLC We offer a unique trail horse training facility for horsemen to practice their horses on obstacles. It's peaceful, quiet, and safe.

On your first visit, I will ride with you on a brief tour so you'll know all about our courses. During this time, I'll invite you to ride over some obstacles while you're with my been-there, done-that calm trail horse. Besides having practically every obstacle imaginable in a beautiful setting, you can dry-camp here to further enjoy all that we offer. We have available four sturdy pens with nearby water. You can camp close to your horses, and restrooms are close. You're also welcome to bring your own pens. Camping here offers faraway visitors the chance to be here, and for those who want extra obstacle practice, staying here for two or three days works perfectly. And then, there are many who just want some quiet get-away horse time at a pretty place. Perrydale Trails fits that description! Camping fee is $20/night/per horse trailer. For the rider who wants to learn more, I offer individual riding instruction for you on your horse @$45/hr. We start with basics and advance as far as you'd like. If you'd like to gain confidence and learn on one of my well-trained horses, it is $90 for 1 1/2 hours. For the novice trailrider/ horse, I'll help you with basic obstacles and horsemanship improvement. Then we'll ride out together on the courses.
​$60 for a 1 1/2 hour lesson. I try to get photographs of everyone who rides here. I edit and email the best pictures to you, free of charge.

It's wonderful to see parents be part of their children's experience here at Perrydale Trails. Many don't ride themselves, but that doesn't stop them from hiking the courses so they won't miss a single accomplishment. They're the cheerleaders, the photographers, and sometimes even the entertainment - for me. Usually there's a good-natured Dad who will give me a Kodak moment I can't resist!

Yesterday, I was out gathering the employees to be stored in the barn. Remember my early summer post about my troubles with Ken-the-bike-guy? Well, here he is at it again. Miss Perrydale Trails is playing it cool, though. This was after I shared that Ken's parts are prone to falling off at inopportune times.

But I think it's best to store them in separate stalls this winter.

It's now fall, which signals the end of another successful season here at Perrydale Trails. Thinking back over this wonderful summer, I’ve collected a whole lot more than just fall colors this year.

The rich gold and yellow colors make me think of the warmth and friendships I've enjoyed with so many of you. And the reds? I'm overwhelmed with the kindness, gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation you've given us!

And, woven in all those colors are the memories, the horses, the hugs, the laughs, and all of you who make Perrydale Trails what it is.
To my longtime friends and to those who found us for the first time this year: thank you for being a part of my magical AND colorful little corner of the world.

My husband, Mike, is my go-to fix-everything man for things I can't do on the farm. But if he ever learns how to imitate Andy's puppy-dog eyes, I'm in trouble!

The last of the season Cowgirl U/Guild was held this past weekend at Perrydale Trails. Nine hard-working horsewomen were attending. We worried it would "rain on our parade," but the sun came out just as the first trailer pulled in on Friday. The mornings were fall-crisp, and we were blessed with blue skies. Kryss Helfrich promised the girls it would be a work clinic, and she delivered! There were hours of one-on-one roundpen and arena work practicing exercises and transitions, all focused on control and confidence. All those hours came to fruition, as Sunday was focused on accomplishing the huge variety of obstacles at Perrydale Trails. It was lovely to watch the riders tackle obstacles with new assurance. And we were rewarded with huge smiles of happiness!

In 2027, The Cowgirl Guild Retreats/Clinics will be held at Perrydale Trails July 9-11, August 13-15, and September 10-12. Save the dates!

We're baa-aack! And our first victims- oops, I mean participants - will be the 18 members of the Valley View Riders club tomorrow!

Many thanks to my friends Carol Grimwood, Luane Frazier, and Cindy Pippin for helping supply and set up this fun trail. We get a little silly and giggly, but when clever girls get together, WHO KNOWS what mischief lurks in women's minds?

Hee, hee ... we do.

THEY ARE EMERGING from their hideaway in the barn … and more are coming!

Multiple dusty boxes are being opened, sheets are lifted away, and my trusty employees - new and old - are gathering for this season’s Halloween at Perrydale Trails.

The last day of our season is October 4, so we’ll have fun with our usual early Halloween here.

Our current crew is awaiting their new roles in this year’s Halloween Trail. Even Ken-the-bike-guy is losing his shorts to become …🤫 Oops. We can’t share everything, now can we?

Psst … he’s gonna LOVE his new outfit!

We'll be working hard these next few days to set up the Halloween Trail. We promise to thrill and delight you - and your horses - so much that it will take three laps just to see it all 😄

Stay tuned … our crew is coming to life!

On September 5, a misty Saturday, Juli Mclennan brought her Young Riders 4-H group and a few parents to Perrydale Trails. It had long been a goal of hers to enjoy a fun ride here with "her kids," and this was the last opportunity. Because ... after 14 years of dedication, she's retiring as a 4-H horse and livestock leader.

As some of you may remember, I was a 4-H judge for 25 years. Although I also did open and NFQHA shows, I enjoyed 4-H the most. Many I saw first as youngsters and judged them as they grew into young adults. Often the same horses faithfully carried their young charges year after year through different family members. The Oregon 4-H training and showing methods proved their mettle over and over as young horsemen dazzled me from all over the state. I loved those years, and guess what, I still lead my horses ear-to-ear!

Watching Juli's group revitalized that 4-H spirit in me. These young women were skillful, safe, and kind to their horses. I tip my hat to Juli Mclennan, for being the mentor these girls will remember and appreciate forever. Thank you, Juli!
