Advisors and Liaisons

 Steve McClintock was the President of the East Valley Back Country Horsemen from 2016-2021.  For several years, he has also been one of our AZ reps on the National Board of Directors of BCHA.  He grew up in Southern California and spent a lot of time riding with relatives and grandparents that were ranchers and farmers in Temecula and Murrieta.  In 1964, he graduated from Claremont McKenna College with a major in Economics and a minor in International Relations.  Upon graduation, he was commissioned and went on  active duty at the Field Artillery School, Ft. Sill, OK and was stationed in Korea. In 1968,  He completed his MBA in Finance at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, and joined the Asia-Pacific Division of Citibank in New York.  Over the next 36 years, he spent 27 years overseas. He worked in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, San Francisco, New York, Minneapolis, Athens (Middle East/Africa Group), Finland and Saudi Arabia.  He is a retired Colonel in the USAR and a graduate of the Command and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. 

In 2011, Steve and Kathy moved permanently to AZ.  He and  Ranger, a TWH, have spent many days riding throughout the Tonto National Forest and other local areas. The volunteer, service and education work is a worthy effort: “Keeping Trails Open for Future Generations.” He is also the Chairman for the BCHA Legacy Fund — an endowment type fund.  The purpose is to ensure BCHA’s financial security now and in the future.
