Mission:  Our purpose is to improve, protect, maintain and expand the horse trails in the Pinckney Rec Area and surrounding areas for use by horse men and women, their families and the general public for horseback riding, horse camping and horse related activities.

Upcoming Event
2024 News     PTRA APPAREL NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE!!

We are enjoying our greatly improved staging area which includes a pavilion, vault toilet, large parking area, an improved hand pump well, new kiosk, new grill, mounting blocks, picket posts, and a gate for the back field.  Much thanks to all, but especially PTRA President Sue Armstrong and Chuck Dennison, Pinckney Rec Area manager.

2024 has found the PTRA trails in great shape thanks so much to our Adopt-a-Trail program and wow, the teams are doing such great work on their areas of the trail. With this, we will not be having organized work bees unless the need arises. Thank you so much to ALL of our Adopt-a-Trail volunteers!  

All sign posts and maps have been added to the trails, so finding your way around should be easier than ever. BIG improvements have been made to the metal bridge and trail which leads to Hell so horse riders can ride into the gorgeous pines and also to Hell for ice cream, beer and a burger.  

Our 2024 events are now online, our unique Blessing of the Horse event is combined this year with our Ride to Hell, both on May 18. We will hold our camping event that weekend May 17-19. We hope to see you for the fun in 2024! Please continue to support PTRA with your membership AND by buying flowers in the spring and cheesecakes in the Fall. And join us for the Spring Fling Banquet April 27th!
