Your membership in the Back Country Horsemen of North Georgia shows your support for horse trails, camps, trail heads and all horse facilities in North Georgia.  The number of our membership will show the powers that make decisions for us that we ARE concerned about our horse facilities.  Your membership and volunteer hours are needed to make Back Country Horsemen of North Georgia a strong and powerful voice for equestrians.
Please print out one of the membership forms below and join our organization.  You can have a voice in the future of trail riding in North Georgia.  Join a respected organization who's efforts have directly benefited trail riders across the country.  Don't forget, your membership in BCHNG also entitles you to membership in the Back Country Horsemen of America and the national newsletter, which will keep you abreast of issues affecting horse use on public land nationwide!  Please print one of our membership forms and join us to protect and preserve our "right to ride."  Membership dues received in the last quarter of '07 will be good through the '08 membership year.  Reminders will be sent at the end of each membership year.

What do you get for your membership fee?  Part of your fee will go to pay for paper, ink and postage for our newsletter, our website fees and advertising.  Our website and newsletter will keep you informed of upcoming local meetings and information on laws and changes affecting equestrians in Georgia.  We have 3 forms of membership, individual, family and business. 

A business membership entitles you to:

Part of your membership fee will go to our National Organization, the Back Country Horsemen of America.  You will also receive the National Newsletter, which is a great way to stay on top of equestrian issues nationwide.  Part of the fees sent to the National Organization goes to send lobbyists to Washington every year to make our needs known and to work to persuade our legislators to cast their votes in favor of "Right to Ride" legislation and continued horse and pack stock use on public land.
 
There is a lack of horse trails and horse camps in most areas of the Chattahoochee National Forest.  We want to unite trail riders and make the US Forest Service aware of the need for more horse facilities and multi-use trails.  We will work with them in the creation, designation and maintenance of new trails.  We must commit to doing our part and work to educate fellow equestrians in the "leave no trace" ethic. 

Join Back Country Horsemen of North Georgia and volunteer in an organization that is working to keep trails open and build new ones!
