Horseback Riding

Dent County has a long history of raising and riding horses for fun as well as for herding livestock. Many area residents participate in saddle clubs and compete in roping and riding competitions. There are hundreds of miles of trails in the area available for trail rides, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the region.
