Engaging the Next Generation of BCHA

Empowering the next generation of stewards: The Back Country Horsemen of America believes that young people are the future of our trails and public lands. BCHA offers a variety of programs and activities that allow youth to develop their leadership skills, build a strong work ethic, and gain a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Through hands-on experience, youth volunteers learn valuable backcountry horsemanship skills while giving back to the places they love.
