The Backcountry Horsemen of California is a group of dedicated men and women actively participating as caretakers of the wilderness. They are involved in preserving stock users’ historic use of wilderness trails, they perform public service activities for the managing federal agencies and they are continually working to educate their members on how to be ”Gentle Users” by practicing Leave No Trace methods and by treating other users with courtesy and consideration. California and the western states have a long tradition of using pack and saddle stock in the backcountry. Backcountry Horsemen carry on this tradition in modern times. With this use comes the responsibility and obligation to care for these wild lands and to ensure their use for future generations.
