In 2011, Horse Council BC was proud to assist in funding several worthwhile trails projects around the province through the BC Equestrian Trails Fund. Among the projects that received grants were the Headwaters Corral Equestrian Campsite at E.C. Manning Provincial Park, the construction of a needed stretch of corduroy on a section of trail in Mt. Robson Provincial Park, the repair of facilities at the Garden City Horsemen’s horse camp in the Malahat area, and the development of the Brewster Lake Horse camp site on Vancouver Island.

It’s now time to download the forms and get ready to submit your grant applications for the 2012 BC Equestrian Trails Fund. Applications will be accepted from HCBC member clubs & affiliates during the month of March, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2012. More information and application forms can be found on the BC Equestrian Trails Fund page in the Recreation & Trails section of the HCBC website.
There will be up to $28,000 in funding available in 2012, and hopefully the BC Equestrian Trails Fund will have money available again in 2013, so HCBC member clubs, ask yourselves “Where else would we love to ride?”
