BR-BCHW Officers

We are a united voice for equestrians living on and near the east side of the Olympic Peninsula.   Our purpose involves the planning, promotion, maintenance, and low impact use of trails open to horses and mules on federal, state, and local lands in Washington State. BCHW is a non-profit organization.

 
Camping at the new Sleepy Hollow Trailhead

There are so many horse related matters happening in Jefferson County that this web page could run right off the bottom of the screen.    Lots of public committees are going on where the presence of horses on trails is being debated.   Volunteer to help us keep trails open!!!!

    Chapter Rides

    Ride with the Chapter.   These rides build confidence, allow for catching up on events and lives in a friendly atmosphere, and most importantly, let land managers know that we are out there and we need to keep our trails!! There will not be a ride in January. The March chapter ride will be a joint ride with Peninsula Chapter at Sandy Shore Lake; Saturday, March 28, at 9:30 am, ride out at 10. There will be a potluck following the ride. Call for directions.  Hope to see you then.        

    We not only ride the trails and advocate for continued equestrian access, we also work to maintain them. Organized work parties 1st Saturday of each month.
