Alberta  Backcountry Horsemen

A handful of dedicated backcountry enthusiasts launched ‘Alberta Backcountry Horsemen’

(ABH) on Facebook in January 2024,  and our new Group soon grew to over 3,000 followers.

After considerable volunteer effort, the Interim Board of Directors were proud to

receive notification that we were approved as a Provincial Society on April 9, 2024.

 

ABH is an ever growing group of horse enthusiasts who love exploring the backcountry of Alberta, and are concerned about lost access to trails and public land that's becoming increasingly limited while equestrian campgrounds are being opened up to other user types.  

 

By joining forces, we can represent the diverse backcountry areas of our beautiful province and advocate for the interests of equestrian user groups. We decided that it's time to take action and come together as a unified voice to address the challenges back country horse enthusiasts are facing.

​

​Going forward, our efforts will be modeled after the highly successful initiatives and membership protocols established by other Back Country Horsemen Associations in

British Columbia and across the USA. JOIN US - and let's make a difference!
