About Back Country Horsemen

Back country horsemen are concerned men and women dedicated to working with land managers to maintain and construct trails in our Forests and Parks.  We work to protect equestrians' historic right to enjoy our back country on our horses and mules.  You don't have to ride or even own a horse to be a member, just recognize the need to preserve our heritage and show your support by joining our organization.  We need help to assure that our "right to ride" is recognized and continues for future generations.
