California Equestrian Trails & Lands Coalition

Memorandum of Understanding
For
California Equestrian Trails & Lands Coalition

Objective: To develop an Equestrian Trails and Lands Coalition among concerned California organizations for the purpose of protecting our mutual interests in the preservation and use of trails, public and private land uses, and to inform and to educate Public Agencies, Legislators and the general public about equestrian recreation issues.

California State Horsemen‚s Association (CSHA) and Backcountry Horsemen of California (BCHC) are co-sponsoring this organizational process.

Mutual Understanding:
1 Participating organizations will retain their individual identity in all internal discussions and actions related to topics of mutual agreement.

2. Participating organizations agree to network electronically and follow an email protocol for developing mutual agreements.

3 If there are differences of opinion on issues, all parties to this MOU will commit to participating in joint discussions before taking any actions that would show disunity. This commitment does not preclude any organization from taking different positions on issues, but only after discussion among organization representatives in the Coalition.

4. Any of the MOU Organizations can lead or jointly participate in local, State, or Federal Legislation regarding Trails and Land Planning issues. Once a position is taken on any issue by a participating organization, communication will be held with all MOU organizational representatives to reach a consensus and show unity of purpose.

5 Participating MOU organizations agree to meet at least once a year at a mutually agreed upon location to present and discuss problems relative to Equestrian Trails and Land Use.

We concur with the above MOU and agree to conditions outlined.
