Lake McNeely has a barn where you can "rent" a horse ( at least it did last year). Iroquois also has a barn that has previously allowed people hourly rentals. Most everyone that I know that teaches won't allow you to go out w/ out an instructor w/ you. Mint Springs (2281866) off Chamberlain has some very nice instructors that may take you on a trail ride, as a "lesson". When I taught I wouldn't allow anyone to go on a ride outside the ring w/ out me, and most of the horse people around feel the same way. Please don't take it personally, but from a liability stand point, and not knowing someone's skill level, they aren't going to let someone they don't know take their horses out.
In L'sprit ( Lagrange) there is a sign off 53 advertising trail rides, (closer to 42), but I dont' know the barn name.
Hope this helps a little bit.
