American Horse Council / Legislative Committee

It is the responsibility of the legislative committee to monitor state and federal legislative issues and state regulatory issues that effect equestrian use in the state of Vermont and beyond. We monitor these issues, pass on information to the body of the VHC membership and, when appropriate, act on the information received.

American Horse Council:

The American Horse Council  (AHC) actively promotes equine interests and monitors federal legislative issues effecting the horse industry. The mission of the American Horse Council is as follows:

Ø      To promote and protect the equine industry by representing its interests in Congress and in federal regulatory agencies on national issues of importance.

Ø      To unify the equine industry by informing industry members of regulations and pending legislation.

Ø      To serve as a forum for all member organizations and individuals on national issues.

Ø      To advise and inform government and the industry itself of the equine industry’s important role in the United States economy.
