experienced men and women to serve either as BCHC's Executive Committee, or as our representatives to Backcountry Horsemen
of America.

History
A group of private and commercial packers met in 1981 to form the High Sierra
Stock Users Association with the purpose of representing horsemen in dealings with the administrators of public lands.
Five years later the HSSUA joined with Montana, Idaho, and Washington to form
an affiliation called the Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA). This national organization's task is to coordinate activities of the
various state backcountry organizations. The BCHA now has BCH organizations in 23 western states.
The HSSUA adopted the name Backcountry Horsemen of California in order to
conform to the national name and to better reflect its growing statewide membership. The association has a membership of more
than 4,000 men and women affilliated with our many Local Units throughout California.
