American Horse Council Celebrates 50 years of Advocating for Equine Industry

-Washington, DC-In 1969 when the founders of the American Horse Council (AHC) first gathered to discuss formalizing an organization to advocate for the equine industry, no one had a crystal ball to look into the future to see all possible changes that could take place or how things could evolve so rapidly in 50 years. Through the years the one enduring variable has been the necessity for the industry to have a voice and to leverage horse enthusiasts, cultivate their knowledge and skills, to meet the changing needs of the industry. It’s these visionaries and extraordinary members whom AHC will honor and celebrate in its 50th year.

To commemorate its golden anniversary, AHC members and stakeholders will join together in a year-long 50th anniversary celebration that will carry through to the AHC Annual Meeting and Conference to be held in Washington, DC on June 9-12 at the Georgetown Marriott. Mark your calendars!
