Northeast Chapter Back Country Horsemen of Washington

We are the Northeast Chapter of Back Country Horsemen of Washington, which is affiliated with the Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA) and therefore adopts the BCHA mission statement as follows:

THE MISSION OF THIS ORGANIZATION SHALL BE:
1. To perpetuate the commonsense use and enjoyment of horses in America’s back country and wilderness.
2. To work to ensure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use.
3. To assist the various government and private agencies in their maintenance and management of said resource.
4. To educate, encourage and solicit active participation in the wise use of the back country resource by horsemen and the general public commensurate with our heritage.
5. To foster and encourage new members in NEBCHW and BCHW.

We are networked with Back Country Horsemen of America Inc. (BCHA), in 31 other states. Come join us for good friendship, good information, volunteer opportunities, and the chance to make a difference!

NEBCHW is engaged year‑round, bringing rides, trail work, and community events to the Northeast Washington region.  Join us!
We’re putting together an exciting 2026 season. Keep an eye on our Facebook page or return here for new announcements.
