bridle paths

Trails for horses

Bridle paths are trails designated for horseback riding, typically through parks, countryside, or rural areas.

The term comes from bridle, the headgear used to control a horse.

These paths are usually unpaved and may also permit walking or cycling, though horses have priority: The estate maintains several miles of bridle paths through the woods.
