Back Country Horsemen does not mean that all our members have to be backcountry packers. Although we have a number of members who pack with horses and mules, it is a matter of fact that most of our members do not pack, but are day riders who either camp at the trail head or drive in for a day ride. Back Country Packers front country riders or any horse enthusiasts who agrees that public lands should remain open to the recreational use of stock is welcome in our organization.
SB 262 (Equine certificates) is a veiled attempt by the state to get into our pockets without raising taxes! It does nothing for the good of horses. Will make criminals out of those that do not comply. The state wants to treat horses like autos charge fees. What's next; a fee on saddles and computers? To sell your horse, you will have to produce 1. a transfer form 2. certificate 3. notarized bill of sale. (It is listed in sec. 6 of the bill). You and your trailer are subject scrutiny of the law for rules and specifications outlined in the law. Please take time to look through it. Tell Sen. Ted Ferrioli that it is a bad bill. Jim
