Shelby Trails Park is a public park open to equestrians and hikers alike
As a trail rider or hiker, the park welcomes you to enjoy over 400 acres and 21 miles of beautiful trails! Our trail system has a bit of everything: flat easy areas, creek crossings, step over logs, good hills and more technical trails on the back side. Bring your horses or your hiking boots and take advantage of this beautiful park! If you own our own horse, all you need to do is buy a day pass located at the kiosk ($10) or year pass online. Shelby Trails Park was made possible through a generous donation from Dr. Roger & Diane Shott of Anchorage. The Park was officially deeded to Shelbyville/Shelby County Parks & Recreation in 2010. Shelby Trails Park is a part of The Shelby County Parks Foundation, a 501C3. The County Parks and Foundation ensures the maintenance of the property and trails, as well as provide donation and fundraising opportunities for the Park. Red Fern Riding Center is an independently owned and operated horseback riding center. As stewards of the land, Red Fern Riding Center acts as a concierge to the park in promoting the park and it's public and private services. Red Fern Riding Center offers an array of services from: guided horseback rides to the general public, to riding lessons, horse training and full-care boarding. In addition, we host community-related events, provide volunteer opportunities for trail expansion, trail and farm maintenance - and much more!

🐴 HORSE FACT THURSDAY 🐴

Did you know that horses don’t have gallbladders?

Because horses evolved to graze throughout the day, their bodies continuously release bile directly into the small intestine instead of storing it for larger meals. It’s one of the many ways their digestive systems are designed around eating small amounts frequently.

Who knew? 🌿

Baby & Elvira = BFFs for life. 🐴💕

These two love showing each other a little affection with some good old-fashioned mutual grooming. Nibbling each other’s withers isn’t just about scratching that hard-to-reach spot—it’s also a way horses bond, relax, and strengthen their friendships. 🥹
Safe to say, Baby and Elvira have found their favorite scratching partner. ❤️
