What we do

Weekend camping trips and day rides

• Weekend (or more) camping trips--monthly during riding season--at campgrounds throughout Indiana, such as O'Bannon Woods, Hoosier Natinal Forest, Brown County and many more locations.

• Monthly scheduled day rides at nearby  parks--Tippecanoe River,   Salamonie Reservoir or State Forest,  Frances Slocum,  Wildcat Creek Park (private), and more.  Plus, lots of last minute day rides when we can't resist good riding weather.  Watch Facebook for details!

• Camp Host, assigned for each BSC ride, communicates details such as camping availability, organized dinners and central campfires. 

Meetings and social get-togethers

• The club meets on the second Wednesdays of  March, June, August, and November at 7 p.m. in the Battle Ground Methodist Church, 201 Tipton Street, Battle Ground, Indiana.  Guests are always welcome to join us!

• Get-togethers are scheduled throughout the year, but always at Thanksgiving and during the holiday season.

4-H Sponsorships and Memorial Scholarship

• Donations made in memory of  members enables  BGSC to offer sponsorships for 4-H 

• Open to youth included in family memberships or with individual junior memberships.

The Farm at Prophetstown Country Fair Days

Battle Ground Saddle Club helps at this event each fall to present a breed demo as a community outreach effort.  Equines of various breeds are housed in the barn during the day with members available to answer questions.  In a one-hour demo on the grounds, members present their equines and share the "specialness" of their breed.  

Kentucky Derby

Club members celebrated  the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby while riding at Land Between the Lakes near the Kentucky / Tennessee state line.  There are already plans to do the same for the 148th running.

Parades

BGSC participates in community parades as opportunities arise, including the annual Lafayette Christmas parade, annual Delphi 4th of July parade, annual Flora Christmas parade, annual Delphi Christmas parade and annual Dan Patch parade in Oxford, Indiana.
