Colorado Horse Council Membership
A Colorado Horse Council individual or household membership is one of the strongest investments you can make for your horse and for the future of our industry. Members receive timely bulletins on legislative, health, and zoning issues that directly affect horse owners along with exclusive discounts on CHC merchandise, streaming content, and special events. Your membership also strengthens our presence at the State Capitol by supporting professional lobbyists who protect equine interests while giving Colorado a national voice through the American Horse Council. Additional peace of mind is available through horse related insurance products offered by Equisure, Inc.
The Colorado Horse Council is a member-based, non-profit organization. The vital interests of Colorado’s horsemen are at the heart of the Colorado Horse Council mission, which is to unite Colorado’s horse owners and horse industry into a powerful cohesive voice to protect the common equine interest through legislation and education. To build industry strength, the CHC brings together all horse interests, regardless of breed preference, discipline affiliation, business type or recreational pursuit.
CHC maintains:
- A horsemen’s network
- State lobbyists
- A broad platform of educational programs
- Bulletins, legislative updates and newsletters
- National influence via the American Horse Council
- Advocate for local issues
- Active industry promotions | Expos | Websites Advertising
Our strength comes from our members who understand that joining the Colorado Horse Council represents a wise investment in our state’s thriving horse industry.
New for 2025! There are two memberships for the Colorado Horse Council, the Individual Voting Membership, and the Voting Family Membership. We no longer have Organizational Memberships. The Equine Excess Insurance is no longer automatically attached to your membership, it must be purchased separately after you renew your membership. The ‘Order” generated for you reflects your current membership status.
- Voting Individuals Membership – $40
- Voting Family Membership – $80
- Equine Excess Insurance – $25/Individual $50/ Family
The two membership types offered allow you to choose the one best for you, whether you’re an individual or part of a family. The benefits offered with each membership vary. Both membership types qualify for Personal Excess Liability Insurance and offer voting privileges at our Annual Meeting. All memberships provide ground admission tickets to our annual Rocky Mountain Horse Expo, as well as providing the peace of mind knowing we are looking out and fighting for your best interests in the equine industry.
Please take a look below at the two (2) membership types currently offered to find the one that most closely fits your needs. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us using the form at the bottom of this page, or by calling us at (303) 292-4981.
