from across the state of South Carolina. We have membership classifications for youth, individuals, families, farms, associations, life, and
commercial organizations. Although the equine community is composed of people with many varied interests, we all share at least a few common goals:

to protect our right to enjoy our horses
to improve Awareness of the Economic Impact the Equine Community has on the State of South Carolina
to improve our knowledge and abilities as horse owners

The South Carolina Horsemen’s Council strives to fairly represent the interests of all horse people and groups across the state. We support breed associations, show groups, hunter/jumpers, trail riders, saddle clubs, Thoroughbred racing, commercial enterprises, and all equine groups, as well as the individual pleasure horse owner. We encourage all equine owners and associations to join us and give us the strength of numbers we need when we face difficult legislative challenges and other broad issues.

Our Board of Directors consists of volunteers from all over the state with varied equine interests just like you. The people on our Board volunteer their time, energy, and personal expenses to represent the Horse Council members. Our Board meetings are always open to all members. Come participate in our Board of Directors meetings and give us your views and tell us what is important to you. Sign up now, so that you can have a voice in what your council does.
