The Back Country Horsemen of Idaho’s annual convention was hosted in Bonners Ferry by the Selkirk chapter of the organization. The Selkirk chapter is centered in Bonners Ferry. Back Country Horsemen of America is a national organization with state organizations that have chapters located throughout the state.

Twelve Idaho chapters joined the Selkirk chapter at the Kootenai River Inn to get together to discuss current business. The organization’s mission is to promote the common sense use and enjoyment of horses in the back country. BCHI works with the Forest Service to keep trails open to horseback riders and to maintain and build trails. BCHI also promotes the use of horses on the trails and works to
educate horsemen of all ages to participate in sustainable use of forest trails by horseback. All who have interest in riding the back country of Idaho are welcome to join. It is a very close knit group of riders who have the same goal of keeping horseback riding available on the forest trails.
