Division Purpose - The purpose of the Equestrian Division is to provide Christian fellowship and outreach to men, women, children, families, and singles, who have an interest in horses. The Equestrian Division is composed of owners and people who have horses, and those who have a BIG INTEREST in horses. The Equestrian Division will not be providing horses or transportation for non owners due to liability.
The BAS Trail Riders are a group of horse owners and riders who provide their own horse, tack, safety equipment, transportation, feed, insurance, etc. and who meet at select trails or events in which to participate. This may include clinics and classes. Baysiders who do not have a horse or a trailer may still attend the clinics and classes. They may also wish to develop group activities involving grooming, horse anatomy, shoeing demonstrations, horse art, cowboy poetry, etc. The Trail riding Division and the Equine Interest Division will work closely in order to make the physical part of this group happen. This does not include providing riding lessons, providing transportation or providing a horse to ride. It means providing a horse, when possible, for an instruction in anatomy, grooming, shoeing or vet demonstration, etc. Most of our trail rides are one day to two day events, are multiple hours long, relatively advanced, and can be an hour to 3 hours away. Please watch our website for event updates!
