Iron Horse Trail horses 🐴

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The old steam trains after which the trail is named are long gone, but some real horses are still in paddocks of the million-dollar houses along the trail. Running on the trail of gravel or dirt between the pavement and the short grass is even softer where horse hoofs have loosened the surface.
