Chapter officers and state Directors are elected by the chapter members. We coordinate with Squaw Butte Chapter and Treasure Valley Chapter with educational outreach and membership recruitment.
Chapter activities include trail rides and work projects that take members from Soldier Mountain to the Owyhees to the Frank Church Wilderness. We sponsor and participate in pack clinics, dutch oven cooking classes, and wilderness training exercises that include: "leave no trace", first aid for horses and people, and chainsaw and cross-cut saw use.
Our next open ride event is: Saddle Up for St. Jude Ride Fundraiser,

BBCH volunteers work on trail and facilities maintenance projects coordinating with the Boise National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, Idaho State Parks, and Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Work projects include trail clearing, bridge building, corral rehabilitation, and cabin refurbishment. Work projects are usually complimented by a fun ride, camp out, and dutch oven dinner.
