About New England Horse and Trail
Our Mission
At NEHT, we are dedicated to bringing information and recognition to pleasure trail riders in New England. Our goal is to support a vibrant community that celebrates the joy of horseback riding and the beauty of nature.
● PURPOSE
NEHT is an association of riding clubs and individuals devoted to pleasure trail riding and driving. We act as a clearinghouse for information, helping riders find rides and rides find riders. Good horsemanship is encouraged through the distribution of our Pleasure Trail Riders' Guide.
● RECOGNITION & AWARDS
NEHT tallies the mileage completed by each horse and rider in NEHT-affiliated rides and awards plaques when they achieve certain mileage totals (250, 500, etc.).
NEW - Completion/Participation Awards are also being offered for every 10 rides completed each year.
● CALENDAR OF RIDES
NEHT publishes an online monthly calendar that lists organized trail rides throughout New England. We list at least one and sometimes two or more rides or drives almost every weekend from April to November, totaling over 100 rides listed each year. The rides are open to all.

Our History
WHEN WE BEGAN
Back in 1984 it was difficult to find trail rides in New England. Not that there were none but finding them was hard. A group of frustrated riders started finding ways through newsletters, posters and word of mouth to start connecting riders with trail rides. Once the internet began to grow in ability and acceptance, we refocused our efforts and here we are.
