We ride the Wilderness trails.

Lunch time finds us in some interesting places.

We clear the winter's deadfalls from Wilderness trails and some Front Country trails as well. The Forest Service does not have adequate funding (or horsepower) to do this, so it is a service we perform for all trail users. In the Wilderness, we clearly demonstrate that horses are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

We occasionally pack trail maintaining tools for our horseless friends.

Mostly we make day trips to the trailheads, but sometimes we set up our field kitchen and bring our porta-potties-on-a-trailer to camp for a few days.

We provide education to the local horse community, like this "Camping with Horses" demonstration at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds and packing clinics.

At Christmas time, we assist the Forest Service when people come to cut their Christmas Trees. We are Smokey's pals.

In 2010, we got a grant to install new corrals at the Goose Creek trailhead. Our members dug post holes, poured cement and welded the steel.

Whenever there is public input on which users should be allowed on trails on public lands, we are there to make sure horses are included. In 2010 many of our members attended sessions regarding trail users on the Boulder Mountain Parks trails, in Staunton State Park and other places.
