Connecticut Horse Council Legislative Alert:

HB5108 AN ACT PRESERVING CERTAIN HORSE TRAILS is currently on the House Calendar.  This bill would permanently protect 6 named trails that have historically had equestrian use. It would prevent horses from being excluded from these trails at any point in the future.

Please immediately contact your Senators and Representatives and request that they support, or cosponsor this bill. When speaking to legislators, please remember to be respectful and polite, and include the bill number and title.

Some key points about the bill: It has no associated cost, it will not prevent other trail usages, it does not expand any trail—it merely reaffirms that horse use shall continue as an accepted use and cannot be eliminated on those trails listed.

If you would like to see the text of this bill or locate contact information for your legislator, please visit the Connecticut General Assembly website at: www.cga.ct.gov

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Connecticut Horse Council President Amy Stegall: president@cthorsecouncil.org
