Service from the Saddle – Back Country Horsemen

Service from the Saddle

Forty-five years after the first Back Country Horsemen https://www.bcha.org/ chapter formed in Columbia Falls, members across the nation remain faithful to the founding principle of prioritizing service to the resource

"I get my best ideas from folks on the ground, and that’s why I’ve worked closely with groups like Back Country Horsemen to protect and enhance our public lands," says Sen. Jon Tester, D-Montana, who in 2016 successfully challenged a $1 million cut to local trail funds via a proposed 10 percent decrease of the Forest Service’s Region 1 trail maintenance budget.
