We also roll up our sleeves for trail maintenance, ensuring these scenic routes stay open for all trail users to enjoy. Best of all, you'll find an incredible community to share the adventure with.

Everyone has something to contribute

Whether you're an avid rider, enjoy a leisurely trail ride, prefer hiking, or love learning about the great outdoors in your local space, there's a place for you here! Every Back Country Horsemen chapter is dedicated to preserving trails, but there are countless ways to get involved beyond the saddle. Join us in keeping the outdoors open and accessible—not just for equestrians, but for all who cherish our wild spaces. Volunteer, connect, and make a difference in your equine community today! 

Where do we ride? Everywhere in Colorado.  

Need trailhead details, where to park, what is the trail like, hazards, pictures and more of local trails for you to use? This is the place. 

Colorado Springs, Calhan, Penrose, Westcliffe, Elizabeth, Monument, south Denver, Spanish Peaks and more.  Wherever our members live is where we are. We would love to meet you out on the trail!
