Our Riding Family
At Minot Trail Riders, we thrive on the support, friendship, and shared passion of our members. Ours is a community where every parent finds a helping hand and every child finds a mentor.
MTR is a place where anyone is welcome and the love of horse unites all. I moved to NoDak in 2021 and I found so many connections in this group of horse lovers. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to find a network of horse loving community in Minot!
