Cowboy canned food convoy today. The Redwood Unit raised $1000.00+ and some poundage of non perishable food. Thank you for all whom contributed and participated to make this a success! Billie Mohr always does and amazing job organizing. After the convoy in Eureka's old town, we headed to the South Jetty. Jimbo White had an amazing carnita lunch waiting for us, then we headed out to the mouth of the Eel River for a gorgeous ride. What a beautiful day.

How We Got Started

Several concerned horsemen learned about Backcountry Horsemen of California and were inspired by what they heard. Names and addresses of equine lovers all over the area were gathered and post cards sent out to invite people to attend an informational meeting. Charley Morgan, Chairman of BCHC and Fred Chamberlain, Chairman of the BCHC Public Lands Committee, came to a meeting at the Freshwater School on December 16, 1991 to talk about how to form a local unit.

The first official meeting was held on January 24, 1992 and the new unit was named “Redwood Unit.” Nineteen members signed up as the founding group. Meetings are still held on the first Wednesday of the month at the Freshwater School.

The Redwood Unit holds a Pack Clinic at the Ferndale Fairgrounds in February each year as an educational event for anyone interested in learning about the Backcountry Horsemen organization, packing skills, and horsemanship. The Half Ass Flat Catered ride is held the last full weekend in June each year as a fund raiser for Redwood Unit. Other events like parades, fairs, the state BCHC Rendezvous, and rides are participated in each year. The end of the year is celebrated with an awards/appreciation Christmas dinner party on the second Saturday in December.
