Our purpose is to better promote North Dakota and its people through an annual Badlands Trail Ride over Labor Day Weekend.

The Badlands Trail Riders is a non-profit organization that has promoted the natural beauty of the North Dakota Badlands. Since 1960, it has been bringing together horsemen and horses of all ages, types and locations. It strives to create a bond to the badlands regions through appreciation of the beauty and enjoyment of the outdoors through family and group horse activities. It is great fun for the whole family from kids on ponies, mom and dad on their tried and true steeds, to expert riders on show horses. And of course those adventurous souls with their mules and draft teams.
