Dogged determination over the years enabled the Club to complete major watershed restoration and reestablish an acceptable trail over Council Mountain. One mile of new trail was also constructed to accommodate more efficient access travel. Completion of this project was due to collaborative partnerships between the Payette National Forest (Council Ranger District), the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Trails Fund Program and the Heartland Chapter of BCH.

The Heartland Chapter also led and partnered in developing the 4-H Horse Arena at the Adams County Fairground.

This project included leveling, weed control, arena surfacing, fencing, bleachers, 300+ feet of French Drain installed for parking, hitching rails, and recognition signing. We have also completed other landscaping improvements at the Fairgrounds. These projects included financial partnership help with the Idaho Horse Board, Adams County Fair Board, Forest Service (USDA Farm Bill), Adams County Road and Bridge department, and numerous local residents.

We generally have monthly meetings on the 3rd Tuesday and rotate the location to ease travel. We try to include a horse-related education topic or speaker at some meetings. For example, we have had Dr. Sarah Metcalf, an Equine Dentist, speak when she is in the area. We also have established a tradition of a fun Christmas party and white elephant exchange. During the snow-free season, we partake in scheduled and/or spontaneous joy rides with each other to see some new country, school a new horse, and just plain riding. Our goal is to have a good time, in some good country, with some good friends, and riding a good horse.
