Trail rides and wagon trains, probably the oldest, most authentic form of transportation across the Old West. Pioneers moved west to fulfill dreams. Cowboys drove cattle to major markets. These are the reasons so many kids grow up with dreams of one day becoming a cowboy, or at least taking part in an old fashioned trail ride.
More than 3,000 riders will hit the trail on horseback and in wagons in February to ride to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Riders from 11 locations in South and Central Texas will cover a total of 1300 miles between them, with an average of 18.9 miles per day. The trail rides all conclude in San Antonio in grand fashion inside the Frost Bank Center Rodeo Arena.
