Permanent Corral Additions at Horseriders' Campground, Palmyra WI
The Southern Kettle Moraine Horse Trails Association (SKMHTA) would like to extend their appreciation to the Wisconsin Horse Council for awarding the 2023 Trail Improvement Grant, in the amount of $3000, to our 2023 Corral Installation project!  This grant, combined with funds raised by the SKMHTA via fundraising events such as our Ride for Corrals and Fall Fundraiser, as well as donations from corporate sponsors and private donors, allowed us to upgrade six campsites with Priefert Premium 12x12 corrals in 2023! More corrals will be installed in 2024!

• 430 - 1 12x12 pen next to the existing highline area
• 431 - 2 12x12 pens installed under the highline area
  
• 433 - 2 12x12 pens installed under the highline area
  
• 435 - 1 12x12 pen next to the existing highline area
  
• 436 - 2 pens next to the existing highline area
  
• 402 - 2 pens next to the existing highline area
  
  

Corral Footing Installation at Horseriders' Campground, Palmyra WI

The DNR has completed upgrading all campsites with pre-existing corrals in 2024, and will continue to upgrade the newly installed sites.  DNR staff has been taking care to not bring in the equipment when there are campers, to avoid spooking horses, and faces staffing challenges, but progress is being made and the finished sites look spectacular!  A DNR Enhancement Grant was awarded to the SKMHTA, $5000 in matching funds, for this project! The completed sites look amazing and are holding up well to use.  We do encourage visitors to properly clean their highline and corral areas, as leaving hay and manure is what leads to mud and poor footing.  Please help us maintain this hard work so we all can enjoy for years to come!
