Add Your Voice!

To all Breed Associations, Saddle Clubs and Equine Professional Organizations, the South Carolina Horse Council would like to invite your members to add their voice.

The past year has seen many successes and some challenges for the South Carolina Horse Council.

We have helped to successfully defend the carriage industry in the city of Charleston as well as developed and implemented a statewide training program for Law Enforcement to recognize animals in need of help.  We were not able to see the feed promotion bill passed.  As these efforts continue, as well as many others coming out this year, we need involvement from the various South Carolina Breed Associations, Saddle Clubs and Equine Professional Organizations.

In an effort to better represent all of the horse men and women of the state, we would like to bring each of the Associations, Clubs and Professional Organizations voice to bear with our own. We will be sharing our programs and sponsors with these groups. 

Much like other states, when you join a club or association, you are automatically enrolled as a member to that state’s horse council and or the National Breed Association.  That is exactly what the SCHC would like to propose. 

With the paid, yet discounted membership, the association, club and professional members would have access of all the SCHC membership benefits including the equine insurance programs. Members are also informed on current legislation impacting the industry of which there has been a lot proposed the past couple years.

The membership has many perks it also allows for nomination of the breed association members to be nominated and elected to the SCHC Board of Directors to better voice their specific concerns as well as stay abreast of what is happening with the other groups throughout the state. With your permission we would like to add a link to your organization on the SCHC website.

SCHC goal is to build a data base for equine enthusiast in and around SC.  To promote our sponsors , members businesses and associations.  We have found networking is the No.1 way to build your business. By doing this you are allowing horsemen in SC to be able to find your association, club, organization or business. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded groups and individuals to maximize impact across South Carolina and surrounding states.

Another business opportunity is to be listed on our members perks page in the “Join” page. This page is dedicated to businesses that partner with South Carolina Horse Council. These businesses give discounts to our members. They are mentioned at all events and in SCHC newsletters.

Members support enables SCHC to continue to assist the equine community including helping geld stallions, send children to 4H camp and award scholarships annually. SCHC has given grants to vet and vaccinate rescues, held clinics throughout the state on topics such as pasture management, equine nutrition, and lameness. SCHC Horse Events brings education and entertainment to equine enthusiasts of all disciplines.

Please consider this for your specific group and feel free to request more details and visit our membership page for more details.

For the betterment of our passion,
South Carolina Horse Council
