Who We Are

We are the North Carolina Chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of America.

BCHA  is a nation-wide organization that is committed to protecting the access of equestrians to public lands. 

BCHA principles are:

• Perpetuate the common sense use and enjoyment of horses in America’s backcountry and wilderness areas of the Southeastern United States.

• Work to ensure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use.

• Assist the Government and private agencies in their maintenance and management of said resource.

• Educate, encourage, and solicit active participation in the wise use of the backcountry resource by horsemen and the general public commensurate with our heritage.

• Foster and encourage the formation of new chapters to the state organization.
