process where it concerns the use of horses.

Our chapter has four primary goals: |
| 1) Be a
leader in the equestrian community where we take an active and
positive role to preserve and enhance our rights to use horses for
recreation. |
2) Provide
a social atmosphere where we may enjoy our horses and each other’s
company. |
3) Provide
a valuable volunteer workforce that assists in the development and
maintenance of trails and trailheads. |
4) Provide
meaningful education on equestrian issues to include, but not
limited to, packing and our Leave No Trace (LNT) program. |
