Join us for the 2010 BCHC Rendezvous, our annual equine extravaganza
for horse and mule folks of all persuasions.
Our theme this
year is "Pack to the Future, Today's Youth, Tomorrow's Packer". Our event is geared toward our youth! We
want to make sure we pass down our traditions and mission! Preserve, Educate & Maintain!
In order to
plan our event for the enjoyment of all we ask that you register early. The three-day package deal is a real cost saver.
Besides, everything is *first-come, first-served, so early registration folks really do get the worms!
When you arrive at the gate to the
fairgrounds you will receive your registration packet that includes your badges, meal tickets, and camping space sticker.
*Late Registrations: It will be possible to register at the
gate, but we cannot guarantee availability of evening meal tickets.

WELCOME BACK MATT SHERIDAN
Matt Sheridan is a fifth generation horseman who for the past 23 years
has successfully trained and shown horses in a variety of breeds and events. Matt is keenly interested in advancing others’
knowledge of horses and horsemanship through clinics, training and lessons. His focus is teaching others to have responsive
horses that move well beyond the basics of the present horsemanship movement. Matt uses his horses to help others see what
they can achieve through practical applications to riding.
