Kentucky Trail Summit
The Kentucky Trail Summit is a tradition that began in the 1990's.  Each year early in the spring, a conference involving speakers from around the state provides a forum for networking and education of Kentucky trail riders.  From public land managers, private campground owners, trail association leaders and interested trail riders, the audience and speaker mix is diverse.

Check the events calendar to see the date for the next Trail Summit.  If you are signed up for Trail enews, we will send a notice of the date and details several months before the Summit.

Ohio Valley Equestrian Trail Symposium
Begun in 1998, the Ohio Valley Equestrian Trails Symposium has provided a forum for educating trail riders and groups who care about the care, maintenance and preservation of the horse trails located in the Ohio Valley, which includes Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Tennessee. The Summit features speakers from a variety of organizations who are involved in trail preservation and maintenance, including State and National Park Managers, officers from other large state trail groups, universities, and local trail groups.

We currently have no information about the 2010 OVETS Conference.
