Hey, Trail Riders! March 16 – 17 Clemson, South Carolina Second Annual Southeastern Equestrian Trails Conference This year’s theme -- Equestrian Trails and Water Quality What’s in it for you? The opportunity to learn how to open new horse trails and prevent the closing of existing trails to horses. State and federal laws that affect recreational trails are proposed and passed every year.  SETC attendees are better informed on these issues, because they have the opportunity to interact with conference speakers who are public land managers, equestrians who have been involved with trail planning, construction and maintenance, and other trails specialists.  In addition, participating southeastern states will have booths stocked with informational handouts, and displays featuring their state's trails.   You will also have many informal opportunities to discuss trails and trail issues with other trail riders from neighboring states! Don’t be left out! Make plans now to attend the 2001 Conference.
