.:: Our Mission ::. To promote chapter members to report trail miles ridden for the purpose of informing the state.

The main purposes of informing the state of the cumulative miles ridden at each park is to: 1. Demonstrate to the state that the equestrian trails are being utilized so the state will continue to maintain and keep the trails open; 2. To possibly influence the state to spend available funds on the expansion and enhancements of the bridle trails.
