Set in the beautiful Dundurn community pasture (35 mins South of Saskatoon plus 25 mins on a lightly gravelled road), Stunning sand dunes, forests and fields following 2-track trails marked with colored ribbons. Ride one day or both. With distances as short as 6 miles and mentors for each distance, it’s a great ride for beginners. With 25, 50 and 75 mile rides, it’s great for experienced endurance riders. This is the only time the public gets access to these trails, so come have fun at Twisted Trails. Paddocks are available for rent. Horse water is provided, but no potable water is available.
Register for Sat, Sun, or both: whatever suits your schedule. The 2026 ride is sanctioned AERC for all distances both days as well as EC sanctioned for the distances of 50 (both days) and 75 (Saturday) miles. Shorter rides have no time limit, trail riders are welcome!
Trails are sandy 2-track through woods, across a plateau and between sand dunes. Terrain is mostly level, which makes for an easy trail. Trails are barefoot friendly. No matter the distance, the trails are beautiful and you’ll have a great time!
