Trail of the Ledges

Located near Pleasant Valley, Berkshire Horseback Adventures offers trail rides through more than 1,200 acres of wooded terrain. A three-mile loop offers stunning views of woodlands, meadows, and wetlands. The scenic trail also passes the 200-year-old settlement of Leffingwell, the first non-Native American settlement in Berkshire County. The town was abandoned in the late 19th century, when farmers began migrating to the Midwest.

The trails range from wooded singletrack to sandy doubletrack. Several of the trails include short hills and stretches of trail with roots. There is minimal signage. The area is largely rural and features rolling terrain and few signs of development. Although not well-marked, the trails take riders through a forest and explore three ponds. There are no steep climbs or descents.

Owner Deb Sullivan has been riding for years and also worked for several local stables in Connecticut. In 2014, she decided to set up her own stable, emphasizing the connection between horse and rider, along with a classical foundation. Her mission is to provide the best possible riding experience for every guest.

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a day on the horse, you’ll love the Berkshires, where equestrian activities are rare but plentiful.
