The Indian Hill Bridle Trails have been a unique and cherished Village amenity for many decades. Over the years, many improvements have been made to the 75 miles of trails to ensure they are properly preserved and maintained in order for them to continue to be a vital part of the Village for many years to come.
While the maintenance costs have increased every year, there has not been an increase in annual bridle trail pass fees since 2000 – over twenty years ago. To facilitate a sustainable maintenance schedule for the future, the Village coordinated with members of the equestrian community to discuss the need for fee increases and to receive input on determining an appropriate amount.
After these discussions, recommendations were made to the Village Council, who, in turn, passed legislation at its April 19 Council meeting to increase the Bridle Trail fees beginning on June 1, 2021:
| Type | Current | 6/1/21 – 5/30/22 | 6/1/22 – 5/30/23 |
| Resident Single | $75 | $100 | $125 |
| Resident Family | $150 | $175 | $200 |
| Resident Add’l Rider More than 2 riders |
$15 | $20 | $25 |
| Non-resident Single | $100 | $125 | $150 |
| Non-resident Family | $200 | $225 | $250 |
| Non-resident Add’l Rider More than 2 riders |
$20 | $25 | $30 |
| Non-resident Initiation Fee | $150 | $175 | $200 |
| Resident Daily Pass | $5 | $15 | $15 |
| Non-resident Daily Pass | $10 | $25 | $25 |
With these changes, the number of daily passes allowed by riders has decreased from twelve per year to six per year.
