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:
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
