bridle path

Definitions

1. 1

   An established trail used by riders mounted on horses.

   • A party came round the angle of a rock, along the narrow bridle-path, in single file; two ladies on horseback, followed by as many gentlemen on foot, and preceded by the usual guide.
   • It was not a bridle-path—merely a pedestrian's track, and the boughs spread horizontally at a height not greater than seven feet above the ground, which made it impossible to ride erect beneath them.
   • Then in the evening, he came suddenly upon Sue riding a spirited black horse in a bridle path at the upper end of the park.
