"For the Love of the Horse"

The Alabama Horse Council is an organization that impartially represents Alabama's horse industry. Whether you are a weekend pleasure rider, horse breeder, trainer, farrier, veterinarian or feed dealer, you have common interests in horses, their promotion and welfare. We have joined together to enact fair and effective regulation affecting horse use, improve state equestrian facilities, increase public understanding of horses and horse use, and enhance the contribution of horses to the quality of life in Alabama. Regardless of the breed, riding discipline, or segment of the horse industry with which we identify, we have united to protect our horses and our industry.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO JOIN US!

Through activities, events and commitees, we strive to meet our objectives and goals. Please take a moment to review our website for more information or opportunities for participation.

Back Country Horsemen of America

The Alabama Horse Council is a member of the Back Country Horsemen of America.
BCHA is a non-profit service corporation made of up state organizations, affiliates, and at large members all sharing in the mission to perpetuate the common sense use and enjoyment of horses in America’s back country and wilderness.

We also work diligently to insure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use. Members assist government and private agencies in their maintenance and management of resources, as well as educate, encourage, and solicit active participation in the wise use of public lands by horsemen and the general public.

If you share in the philosophy and purpose of BCHA we encourage you to become a member of an existing state chapter or to form a new state organization.
