Medina County Ohio Horseman's Council
DEDICATED TO PROMOTING RIDING IN THE CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
The Ohio Horseman's Council Inc. (OHC) is a
non-profit corporation organized in the state of Ohio
to provide a vehicle for equine owners and supporters to
share ideas and suggestions for all horse related issues,
through education, organized trail rides, and other social
and service functions. We provide resources to promote
the building and maintenance of bridle trails throughout
the state of Ohio and provide financial resources and
volunteer services to fellow organizations that support
equine related activities.
The Ohio Horseman's Council started in 1972 as a grass
roots movement of horse people who felt that an
organization with neither breed affiliation nor private
interest to serve was needed to represent horsemen of
Ohio. By 1974, OHC was officially incorporated and joined
the American Horse Council. There, OHC learned how
horsemen in other states solved zoning and bureaucratic
problems. To date, there are more public riding areas in
Ohio than in all the adjoining states combined.
Member of the American Horse Council :
OHC is a member in the American Horse Council (AHC), a
national legislative representative for the horse industry.
The mission of the AHC is to promote and protect the
equine industry by representing its interests in Congress
and in federal regulatory agencies on national issues of
importance.
