Suzanne Webel has been a BCHA member almost since its inception in 1971. She spent more than 24 years on the BCHA Board, including several stints as President as well as in many other roles, including Secretary, Treasurer and External Vice President. She has advocated tirelessly for equestrians with a focus on trails, zoning, public land management, and agriculture. When she’s not volunteering on nonprofit boards, she actively manages her family’s 80-acre boarding and hay farm in central Boulder County. BCHA was Suzanne’s passion and she has truly given her heart and soul to this organization and to its mission. In recognition of her extraordinary commitment and accomplishments, the BCHA Board awarded her the BCHA Achievement Award in 1998, and the BCHA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Suzanne has now moved on to other pursuits, including her responsibilities as President of the Boulder Area Trails Coalition (BATCO). She will, of course, continue to advocate for horses and horse people in Boulder County. BCHA thanks Suzanne for her many years of service and dedication to the horse community of Boulder County.
