lands that give us so much peace. We’re all working to promote and protect these lands that give us this peace and a sense of belonging to the equine industry.  We work on all aspects of public lands; Forest Service (federal and state), BLM, State Parks & Wildlife, National Parks, and the list goes on.  

In 2017 alone our Colorado members contributed over $400,000 worth of volunteer service. 

While riding up in the Lizard Head Wilderness last week in the San Juan Mountains, I was reminded how quickly times are changing.  The trails, the scenery in this space were unparalleled.  The solitude was amazing.  Our horses were an extension of the tranquility our escape for the day provided.  

We would love to introduce you to what we do and where we do it, so join one of our chapters today!  If there isn’t one near you, start one!  We can help!  Like us on Facebook, Back Country Horsemen of Colorado/BCHCO, and visit our state website,  bchcolorado.org.  We’d love to welcome you into our Back Country Horsemen family.
