Chief of Scouts – Kurt Klausmeyer
Kurt Klausmeyer began riding the Salt Grass Trail in 1973 and has been scouting for more than 20 years. Since 1973, he has ridden with the Brazos River Riders, Wagon 12. In addition to riding, Kurt represents the Brazos River Riders as Wagon Boss and plays an integral role in getting the wagon down the road.
In 1996, Kurt was recognized by the Salt Grass Trail as the Top Trail Rider, and in 2016, his horse Blue Duck was noted as the Top Trail Horse. Kurt is very familiar with the processes and ways of the trail ride. His wife, children, and grandchildren also represent Wagon 12, demonstrating a strong family tradition. When away from the Salt Grass Trail, Kurt can often be found horseback working cattle for himself and many others in the local area or sitting back with a cold one and enjoying his family. Kurt is looking forward to a safe and fun 2026 ride.
Salt Grass Trail Ride scouts are expert horsemen and patient advisors, strong voices of authority, and smiling comrades. They are revered and appreciated by all members of the Salt Grass Trail Association.
