Welcome Fellow Horse Enthusiasts!
The Colorado Horse Council advocates for the social, economic and legislative interests of all horse breeds within the State of Colorado, the US and worldwide. We are a trusted voice in the horse industry and our mission is to advocate for the health & wellbeing of all horses and promote initiatives that advance and enhance the equine industry.
The Colorado Horse Council represents farmers, ranchers, breeders, trainers, showmen and women, retailers, veterinary care providers, service providers, feed producers and those who own horses within the State of Colorado.
In partnership with the Colorado Horse Development Authority, we launched a new Colorado Equine Microchipping Program in 2018 help reunite owners and their horses when separated as a result of natural disasters, theft or accidental escape.

The Colorado Horse Council organizes the annual Heritage Ride as fundraising activity throughout the year. Heritage Rides offer horse enthusiasts the opportunity to participate in exciting adventures and activities with their horses. Last Heritage Ride gave owners and horses (all breeds) the opportunity to race around the track of Arapahoe Park Racetrack, try their hand at wrangling cattle, the chance to try obstacle courses and much more.
