 
BRAG is a registered charity affiliated to the British Horse Society, covering the areas of North Tyneside, Newcastle, Blyth, Wansbeck, Gateshead, South Tyneside and some areas of South Northumberland and Sunderland.

- Preserve and protect rights of way
- Create new and safe off-road routes by working with other agencies to create bridleway links on derelict land or development areas.
- Revive lost routes.
- Ensure adequate provision is made for the safe passage of horse riders where new roads are under construction or existing roads are modified.
- Encourage public awareness of the needs of riders and the hazards they face, such as traffic, dogs, fly-tipping etc.
- Promote safe and responsible riding.
- Ensure that routes are properly maintained, have a satisfactory surface, are clearly signposted and kept free from obstructions.
In return for yearly subscriptions BRAG members receive:
- Three newsletters a year
- Subsidised pleasure rides
- Support and assistance from the committee with any problems.
