Welcome to BES

​

​​

The BES has launched a busy and productive year with a range of activities at Manassas National Battlefield Park. From workdays to rides and special events, BES is actively supporting the Park and fostering a strong partnership. Our dedicated volunteers are the backbone of these efforts—without their support, we would not be able to maintain and improve the equestrian trails for both the equestrian community and all Park visitors. We continually welcome new members and volunteers to join us in our mission.

The Battlefield Equestrian Society (BES) is a 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is the promotion and enhancement of equestrian activities at the Manassas National Battlefield Park (MNBP). Membership is open to all interested individuals (non-riders as well as riders). Activities include recreation and fund-raising events, education through programs and speakers of interest to horse people, and service-oriented functions including maintaining and improving the bridle trails in the Park.
