The Equine Land Conservation Resource in Lexington, Kentucky, recently posted on YouTube (via the ELCR website) a recording of an Aug. 31 webinar that should be of interest to anyone constructing or maintaining trails for equestrian use.

Titled “Got Mud? Tackling Mud and Erosion on Equestrian Trails,” it was presented by ELCR in cooperation with its conservation partner American Trails as part of their Advancing Trails webinar series.

Mud and erosion are common issues encountered on equestrian trails. The webinar presenters addressed some of the challenges they cause by focusing on effective construction techniques, recommended products and best management practices for equestrian trail planning, construction and maintenance.

Presenters included:

• Jan Hancock, principal, Hancock Resources LLC
• Holley Groshek, executive director, Equine Land Conservation Resource
• Clay Nelson, owner, Sustainable Stables
• Matthew Woodson, owner/founder, Okanogan Trail Construction.
