LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Dick Yarboro

Dick Yarboro joined BCHW in the 90’s as a member of the Olympic Chapter. Then he was with the Nisqually Chapter where he held the position of Director for 2004 & 2005. He has been a secondary member of Grays Harbor for years, before moving to Eastern Washington where he is now a member of the Northeast Chapter. After 35 years, in the Department of Printing in Olympia, it was only natural that he went to work on the Trailhead News to spread the word about what BCHW does so he became the THN Editor in 2007. He worked closely with Washington Media services, a position he held until 2021. He organized at least one, maybe more, BIG VIP rides in Capitol Forest. Also, in 2007, he got Nisqually to join in on the then multi-chapter West Fork Humptulips Trail, Olympic National Forest, "adoption", he was the Nisqually contact and a major trail worker for several years. Dick has enjoyed horse ownership, riding, and the company of like-minded trail riders. He has always loved exploring new areas and working the trails with friends and members of BCHW

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Mike Reedy (Posthumously)

**Award Accepted by Tom Conner

It is with pleasure that I write this recommendation for Michael Reedy. Mike was the director from Washington BCH while I was Executive Secretary for Back Country Horsemen of America. He then progressed to Vice President and President of Back Country Horsemen of America. Mike always had the best interests of BCHW and BCHA at heart. He would go out of his way to handle the business of Back Country Horsemen. He was always available for BCHW and BCHA.

Mike deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award. It is a shame that he cannot be with us to receive it.

Sincerely, Peg Greiwe, Former Executive Secretary, BCHA
