Aside from its strawberry farms and cold weather all year-round, Baguio City is also known as a horseback riding haven. Dubbed as the summer capital of the Philippines, this city never ceases to attract visitors due to various tourist attractions and recreational activities the city has to offer. Some said one way to explore Baguio is to ride a horse en route to some of the city’s top scenic spots. A famous trail ride in the “City of Pines” is the one originating from the Wright Park, which is located across The Manson (the official summer residence of the Philippine president). Experts said the Wright Park, which is often mistakenly called the “Ride Park,” is the ideal place for horseback riding beginners. Horse-renting services are also offered beside the Baguio Country Club and inside Camp John Hay. Historical data show that Baguio, which is home to more than 300,000 people, was a cowboy country long before the Americans built the city hundred years ago.
