About Us
Our
Goals
As an equestrian trail organization, we are united with the equestrian trail community in the preservation of our American heritage and the conservation of natural and cultural resources. Thus, we are committed to stewardship of lands we use by fostering land ethics that harmonize the relationship between equestrians and these lands. We are concerned conservationists who promote education, encourage shared trail use and trail etiquette, practice volunteerism, and work to develop and enhance positive relationships among equestrians, other trail users, and land owners/managers. We influence and effect administrative and legislative decisions that affect the equestrian trail community. We seek to enhance opportunities for trail development. We also serve as a resource for information on equestrian trail values, uses, and needs.
