History

The original Connecticut Horse Advisory (1969 - 1970) was formed to defeat proposed legislation that would have prohibited the use of bits,spurs and other devices. Over 400 horse people testified at the legislative hearing.

The Advisory ultimately evolved into the Connecticut Horse Council (CHC) Incorporated in June 1971.

Since then the CHC,Inc.,a nonprofit volunteer organization,has served the Nutmeg State by keeping horse owners updated on legislative, zoning,trail,safety and educational issues,and continues to pursue a state Equestrian Center.

The CHC,Inc.,can only be as strong as its membership. Please join us and work together to protect your interests for today and tomorrow.

The Connecticut Horse Council is member supported by individuals and organizations representing every facet of the horse industry including owners,breeders,veterinarians,farriers, breed organizations,horsemen's associations, commercial suppliers and town horse councils.
