Welcome to the Ponderosa Back Country Horsemen (PBCH) website. Through this site we hope to inform you about the many facets of PBCH.

PBCH is part of much larger organizations, the Back Country Horsemen of Washington and the Back Country Horsemen of America. Through these cooperative efforts we are able to provide support for keeping trails open to equestrians. Briefly our mission is to preserve the rights of responsible horsemen to use horses on public land. We do this through work parties, education and advocacy for equestrians.

In addition there are events to enjoy such as rides, camp outs, education and fundraisers.

We have a monthly newsletter where we like to share timely information and activities. It is posted to our our Facebook page and emailed to our members.

We are a non-profit 501C3 organization which means that memberships and donations to PBCH are tax deductible.
