Next year is a big year for Oregon Equestrian Trails, it is our 55th Anniversary! You are invited to our grand celebration February 22, 2025. Watch for admission tickets to go on sale.
Who Are We?
OET’s Mission Statement: OET Advocates for recreational access, partners with land managers to care for trails and horse camps, unites equestrians through opportunities and information related to trail riding.
*Because of our membership we have clout. We have a larger voice. Whether you join work parties or just enjoy reading the monthly newsletter, EVERY member is important!
Winter is creeping in, which means more time in the arena and less hoofing it on the trails for some of us Oregonians! Our chapters are buzzing with excitement, dreaming up grand plans for the next riding season. Ever thought about having a horse camping guru by your side? Or itching to swap arena walls for the great outdoors? OET is here to help you expand your equestrian horizons! Find a mentor in your local chapter to guide you through just about anything your horse-loving heart desires. Don’t be shy—reach out to your local chapter or give OET a ring! And don’t forget to peek at our calendar for all the fun!
Other openings for you to help out with an event, group ride or trail work party, or be a chapter officer ~there is something for everyone who wants to get more involved. We are always in need of folks who are looking for a fun volunteer opportunity that is centered around horses. We have a President, Board of Directors which includes the Chapter Chair from each chapter, State Secretary, State Treasurer as well as Vice Presidents which include Marketing/Outreach, Public Lands and Field Services…..not to mention officer positions inside each Chapter. All positions except State positions are only a 1 year commitment, most folks stay on for a few years because it is a very fulfilling experience. There is always tons of opportunity to elevate the organization!
