Julie Broadway President of the American Horse Council: Protect & Strengthen the Equine Industry

The Voice of the Equine Industry isn’t just a motto for the American Horse Council, it’s a promise. 30% of homes have horse enthusiasts; they speak out for all.

Episode 7: “The Voice of the Equine Industry” isn’t just a motto, it’s a promise.

30% of households contain a horse enthusiast. The AHC speaks out for all of them on Capitol Hill.

Every horseman should actively strive to be aware of changes that have the potential to impact the equine industry. But with all the drama in our nation’s capital, how do we keep track of horse-related legislation? Owners, trainers, breeders, and hobbyists around the country can rely on the American Horse Council (AHC) to do just that. Since 1969, the AHC has been the voice of the equine industry on Capitol Hill. 

They have and continue to speak out about equine industry on topics like:

  • Equine liability laws
  • Proposed regulations like electronic logging devices for trucks and trailers
  • Use of pyrethrins in fly spray products
  • Livestock vs Companion Animal designation of horses
  • Equine sports betting

In order to protect and strengthen the US equine industry, the AHC focuses on maintaining a bipartisan relationship with congressional leaders and regulatory agencies. They can confidently offer vital insights on the impact of legislation and regulatory policies because they partner not only with around 200 equine associations and business, they partner with individual horse owners from all sectors of the horse world. This reliance on group and individual feedback enables the AHC to serve the highly diverse equine industry

American Horse Council, The Big Picture:

  • Works with State Horse Councils (and why every state doesn’t have one)
  • Unites multiple fiercely independent equine cultures
  • Operates by consensus
  • Identifies and relays unintended consequences of proposed legislation
  • Works with regulatory agencies on compliance protocols
  • Remains available to individual horse enthusiasts for information

You can get involved by:

Looking to the Future:

  • 2023 study of the Economic Impact of the Equine Industry
  • Further engage the horse enthusiasts not directly involved in the industry
  • Proposal for horse industry census in partnership with the USDA
  • How sports betting may change the industry
  • Maintaining livestock status for horses (and the backlash if that changes)
  • Current legislation proposals targeting the use of pyrethrins
