Horseback riding Archives | Rochester Trail Riders

In this episode we embark on the first 18 miles of the Genesee Valley Greenway, traversing from Rochester to Avon. This historic trail, repurposed from a railroad and canal, is a testimony to the region’s natural splendor and history. Our host Lindsay, along with her friend Kim, navigate through urban edges to peaceful countryside, encounter various obstacles, and even witness a wedding. Their journey highlights the close-knit equestrian community and the accessible outdoor adventures in Rochester. They share laughs, challenges, and the joy of riding, inviting listeners to experience the trail for themselves.
