The Battlefield Equestrian Society (BES), founded in 1985, is a volunteer organization. Its purposes include maintaining and improving the equestrian trails in the Manassas National Battlefield Park (MNBP), promoting horsemanship through educational programs and activities, and general support of the Park.
Membership fees account for approximately one quarter of BES's annual revenue. Funds raised by the BES thorough its trail rides are donated to the Park along with voluntary labor to sustain the bridle system. The work of this service oriented group was recognized in 1994 when it was awarded the MNBP Partnership Award and in 1990 with the U.S. Interior Department's "Take Pride in America" Award. The ongoing activities of the Society, in partnership with MNBP, include erosion control, trail trimming, and safety improvements to the Battlefield's bridle trails. BES also maintains a therapeutic riding trail and ramp for challenged equestrians.
