Wyoming Back Country Horsemen of America is a non-profit organization presently made up of seven chapters spread across our great state. These chapters work with public agencies in their chapter areas and have developed relationships to assist these agencies in making decisions for the good of recreational stock users.
The idea of Back Country Horsemen of America was originated by concerned horse users in Montana after the passage of The Wilderness Act in 1964. The first club was formed there in 1973. The BCHA movement spread and in 1979 a number of Montana and Idaho clubs formed the Back Country Horsemen of America. Currently there are approximately 150 local chapters with a membership of over 14,000 nationwide.
In 1989, the Wind River BCHA of the Riverton-Lander area was organized as the first chapter in Wyoming. Since that time chapters have been formed statewide with a current membership of over 400 individuals. The Wyoming BCHA was formed in 1993.
Since 1996, The Wyoming Back Country Horsemen of America have contributed over $428,978 in volunteer labor on trails, at trailheads, and in educational roles.
