Your membership with the Colorado Horse Council not only allows you to support CHC’s mission to unite, advocate, and educate but also comes with some valuable perks. As an annual member, you will receive free day passes to the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo, providing access to a premier event in the Colorado equine community.
For horse owners specifically, CHC membership presents the opportunity to purchase an annual $1 million Equine Excess Personal Liability policy. This insurance coverage can be crucial in protecting you financially in the event of unforeseen incidents involving your horse, providing an added layer of security for responsible horse ownership.
These benefits, coupled with the sense of community and shared passion for horses, make joining the Colorado Horse Council an easy decision for horse enthusiasts and horse owners alike.

New for 2024!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 purchase or renew your membership. The ‘Order” generated for you reflects your current membership status.
- Voting Individuals Membership – $40
- Voting Family Membership – $80

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.
