Our Mission

To educate and develop, maintain, preserve, and protect public lands and parks for equestrian use.

The Duluth Back Country Horsemen of Minnesota (Duluth BCH-MN) is a group of dedicated horse people working together to keep public trails accessible for equestrian use. We see this as necessary because the current land available for horseback riding is steadily decreasing. As a youth and family friendly lifelong endeavor, trail riding provides an outdoor activity everyone can enjoy.

Our vision is to have local trail systems and connected horse camps we can all enjoy, including multi-use trails. We are currently working on several projects to advance this goal.
