The Blue Ridge Center


 

The Blue Ridge Center is an amazing resource for USTR members.  With nearly 900 acres of protected land, it affords USTR members a peaceful place to ride and take in the beauty of this area.  There are meandering trails and streams lined with beautiful ferns.  There are deer, birds, butterflys, flowers and a beaver pond as well as interesting old cabins and homesteads.

USTR has developed and nurtured a partnership with the Blue Ridge Center by maintaining the trails through the conservency as well as providing financial donations from our annual public trail ride(s) at the Center. 

The Blue Ridge Center is not open to the public for riding. Only USTR members and their horses may enjoy riding on the Center's 900 acres. USTR members may purchase annual trail tags to ride at the Blue Ridge Center. An orientation ride is required prior to receiving your trail tag and the combination to the parking lot, and members are expected to adhere to the "Code of Conduct found here. .  Helmets must be worn at all times while riding at the Blue Ridge Center.
