OUTBACK RIDERS HORSE CLUB – Oconto County
If we are going to benefit from our natural resources, we must be willing to take action to protect them.

Inviting all Equine Enthusiasts


Outback Riders, Inc. was established to create and maintain a public bridle path in the Machickanee Forest and the Oconto River Trail in accordance with the Special Recreational Use Permit granted by the Oconto County Forestry & Parks Department; to hold family oriented equine related social activities and fundraisers.

The Outback Riders operate as a non-profit corporation in accordance with the laws of the state of Wisconsin.






Outback Riders, Inc. is going strong and is more focused than ever before. OBR is determined to bring the same offerings to the equine world as we have successfully done for the last 16 years. The Oconto County Forestry Committee voted a unanimous YES in favor of granting the Outback Riders the “Special Use Permit” to continue to manage and maintain the 25+ miles of Equine Trails in Machickanee.

Also, the county voted a unanimous YES to oppose the implementation of a trail rider fee. The OBR Machickanee Trail System for Horses will remain FREE!

The Outback Riders have proven to be responsible stewards of the trails and we do so through our volunteer and fund raising efforts. We host an annual two-day horse show that has grown to be our most successful fund raiser of the year, along with our Friday night speed series. Our raffle license allows us an additional method of earning funds, as well as our door-to-door sponsorship drive to sell advertisements in our Trail Sponsors book. In addition, we’ve applied for and received matching grants from the Wisconsin State Horse Council trails committee. All of these monies are being used to provide the horse owner with a safe and free place to ride their horse in the Machickanee Forest of Oconto County.

As always, we are committed to maintaining and improving the trail system.  We have many plans for improvement of the trail system that will complement the many improvements that the dedicated Outback Riders Members have already implemented.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who continues to help OBR to reach their goals!
