Why become a TTBCH member?

  • We have cooperation with the Forest Service to give back to the land via service projects.
  • As a chapter member of BCHA, we are able to apply for and receive grants.
  • The Forest Service applies for grants and uses our letters of support for them, which also legitimizes us.
  • We are recognized in the ranching community supporting cattle grazing in the back country.
  • Our umbrella organizations, BCH of Idaho & America, give us status as they are well-established and known entities.
  • Being a state and national member also gives us support from other Idaho chapters, if ever needed, to lobby in court for resolving trail disputes.
  • Your membership builds connections for you within the horse community and creates invitations to local horse news and events. 
  • The Caribou-Targhee Forest needs you!

What does your membership fee go toward?

Of the annual chapter membership dues, a large percent of the money goes to our national umbrella (Back Country Horsemen of America aka BCHA), some to our state umbrella (Back Country Horsemen of Idaho aka BCHI), and our chapter (TTBCH) keeps a portion that is used for trailhead infrastructure improvement, tool purchases/replacements, timber for trail bridges, food for socials, as well as some money set aside for sending our State Directors to represent our chapter at BCH Idaho Foundation required meetings.
