BCHA incorporated in 1971 as a Colorado non-profit corporation . In 1998 we obtained our 501(c)3 status from the Internal Revenue Service, enabling contributions to the organization to be tax-deductible . As an umbrella organization for all horse-related interests in Boulder County, we strive to present a unified voice on equestrian issues to regional govern- ments and to the public . One of BCHA’s primary goals is to keep horses viable in Boulder County . BCHA promotes the acquisition of open space and parks, and supports an interconnected system of multiple-use trails . We are an organizational member of the Boulder Area Trails Coalition and the Colorado Horse Council . Over the years BCHA has worked closely with Boulder County to formu- late a set of horsekeeping guidelines in the Land Use Code which ”work“ for most horse owners, yet enable the County to enforce reasonable regulations should the need arise . BCHA ACTIVITIES include: • Monthly Board meetings: Usually the first Monday evening of every month. Members and guests welcome . • Annual Meeting: Each February, electing the Board of Directors and featuring a guest speaker . • Clinics and Seminars are presented throughout the year. These are free to BCHA members and open to the public . Topics range from polo to carcass disposal . • Trail Rides: BCHA offers weekly organized, though informal, trail rides to members . • Trail Building and Maintenance: In 1986 BCHA adopted and built the Doudy Draw Trail near Eldorado Springs for the City of Boulder Open Space and has conducted annual maintenance on this trail ever since . BCHA participates in National Trails Day projects, and our members are active in State and Federal trail-policy planning forums . • Public Lands Appreciation Day: A casual social occasion each fall bringing public lands officials and Boulder County’s horse community together with wagon and horse trail rides and a picnic! • Horse Lovers’ Fling: Annual fundraiser event, usually in the spring, featuring silent auction and entertainment . 7 • Fun Show: Annual fall program bringing adults and kids together across all disciplines for a relaxed event at the Boulder County Fairgrounds . • CART: As a County Animal Response Team member, BCHA works with other animal organizations and professionals preparing for animal emergencies such as wildland fires or disease outbreaks . • HOOF: Horse Owners' Operation Find, in conjunction with the Boulder Sheriff’s Animal Control officers, helps reunite horses and owners when a horse is on the loose . • Publications: The Horse’s Mouth – BCHA’s bi-monthly newsletter, educates our members about horse-related issues . Articles include upcoming events, potential legislative im- pacts on horses, trail descriptions, and information about caring for our horses . Horse Services Directory - Published approximately every five years, a handy reference for equestrian services and products in our area . Happy Trails - Several volumes of trail logs in and around Boulder County . Sharing Trails Safely with Horses - Brochure produced with funding from Colorado State Parks and the Colorado Horse Development Authority to help all trail users be safe . Colorado’s Poisonous Menace: Do You Know What Your Horse is Eating? - Booklet produced with the Department of Agriculture and others on poisonous plants and weed management .
