HISTORY

Back Country Horsemen's cornerstone was laid on a firm foundation of research and planning. A small nucleus of back country horse users developed and modified the original concept.

The actual formation of BCH took place in Montana's Flathead Valley in January of 1973. Since then, our progress is a matter of record, a record of which we are very proud. We have used our specialized knowledge of stock and the back country to bring about  and change modifications of restrictive management. We have participated in many agency meetings and land use planning and regulations and have become a strong voice for continued, responsible horse use. We have arrived at our position through extensive research and discussion. This responsible approach has assured us of valid consideration regarding regulations and planning and has given us the support of other conservation groups
