Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA), the organization that works hard to protect our right to ride horses on public lands, is bigger than ever.

BCHA membership now totals more than 13,300 members nationwide, with chapters in 27 states. In 2013 alone, those members contributed 368,000 volunteer hours valued at $14 million aimed directly at keeping trails open for horses and other users. More than 30,247 miles of trails were maintained.

BCHA has recently welcomed several new state organizations that carry their benefits to equestrians across the country, and even re-designed their popular website
