Questions

This project wouldn’t exist without the support of incredible mentors (thank you, Dr. Duck and Dr. Fink). But at its heart, this is a trail story. My name is Amy Gent, and I am the creator of Horse Trails of Oklahoma. 

​

I was born and raised here in Oklahoma, and no matter how far my path has taken me, it has always led me back home. There’s something about this land, the open sky, the winding trails, that never really lets go of you.

​

I grew up with horses just beyond my back door, where the days were measured in miles ridden and the rhythm of hoofbeats. My early love for the trail shaped everything that followed. I’ve chased that feeling through YMCA camps, guided trail rides, and now through my work helping both horses and riders build confidence out on the trail. There’s nothing quite like seeing someone find their stride in the saddle, or a horse settle into trust beneath them.

​

I’m graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and majoring in Outdoor Community Recreation because a life outdoors isn’t just something I love, it’s something I believe in.

 

This website was built to share that belief. My goal is to create a place where anyone, from first-time riders to seasoned trail veterans, can find reliable, up-to-date information on the trails that make Oklahoma special. While I haven’t ridden every mile listed here (yet), I rely on trusted sources and the most current information available to map the way.

 

It’s a big trail to cover alone, which is why this project is meant to be shared. I invite you to add your own experiences, stories, and discoveries. Because the best trail maps are the ones built by the people who ride them.
