According to the 2012 Ag. Census, approximately 1500 horses are raised on 222 farms. Ninety percent of the equine in Taylor County are used for pleasure. Green River State Park has 26 miles of trails used for horses, walking and cycling. A group of horsemen wanted to establish the Green River BackCountry Horsemen Association that would be affiliated with the National and State organizations. 

In 2017, the Green River BackCountry Horsemen Association was formed with the assistance of the Taylor County Extension Office with 30 members joining. The Green River BackCountry Horsemen Association is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of the equestrian trails at Green River State Park. Their organization is also cooperating with the Boy Scouts of Taylor County to help maintain trails and to help the youth earn badges such as Eagle Scout. They also work closely with the Green River State Park and the Corps of Engineers for future projects.
