Chief of Scouts – Kurt Klausmeyer
Kurt Klausmeyer started riding the Salt Grass Trail in 1973 and has been scouting for over 20 years. He rides with the Brazos River Riders, Wagon 12. Besides riding, Kurt serves as Wagon Boss for the Brazos River Riders and helps ensure the wagon travels smoothly.
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.
