Horse Council BC is pleased to be able to assist in trail and equestrian campsite building and improvements by providing funding and support. The deadline for applications from qualified clubs is April 15. TRAILS DATABASE The trails database is a section on the HCBC website that stores data on equestrian trails and campsites province wide. HCBC also has a vendor page on Avenza maps that compliments the trails database by offering 24 free maps of equestrian trails. The trails database is an interactive platform that allows riders to add photos and comments of trails that they have recently ridden. HCBC is always working on ways to make the system work better for our members and improve on the ease of use. PAGE 09 | RECREATION
