Medina County Chapter Ohio Horseman’s Council

About Us

We are Cuyahoga Valley Trail Riders!

Medina County Chapter repairs, builds and maintains the horse trails in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Peninsula, Ohio. We have work/ride weekends which means you may come to primitive camp with your horse in what we call Robinson Field located on Akron/Peninsula Rd. just South of Peninsula. The trails take a lot of work; we build bridges, clear and build trails, and do whatever it takes to maintain this wonderful place to ride . We take pride in our work with the National Park’s personnel and the results are appreciated by all who ride here. Members from around the state say we have some of the finest trails of anywhere they have ridden. Medina OHC hosts one of the state rides in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so be sure to join us around the second weekend of August! We also have monthly rides with other chapters as well as a yearly banquet.

Feel free to contact us for information about upcoming rides and meetings! Happy trails from Medina OHC!

Our State Ride in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Aug 14-16) was CANCELLED!!!

Cannon Alert- If you are riding in the Cuyahoga Valley especially on the Valley Trail around farms like Szalay’s corn fields this month or next be aware that the corn cannons are sounding to scare off birds and other critters. These cannons do a good job scaring horses as well, so be careful.

We will update this site as things change. Contact: medina@ohconline.com for any information.
