Ohio Horseman’s Council is a long standing member of American Horse Council, headquartered in Washington, DC.  Further, at a state level, OHC is an active member in the Ohio Legislative Trails Caucus which is spearheaded by bi-partisan legislators.  The Caucus is the best way to let our state law makers know who we are and what we want — we are equine owners and ‘caretakers’ of Ohio’s trails.

Your membership fee goes directly to OHC and is used to promote the use of public lands for trail riding.  County chapters hold fundraisers to get money to do maintenance on trails as well as apply to the state OHC leadership for yearly grant monies.  Your fee helps to keep trails open for all to enjoy.  You are a ‘caretaker’ of the trails when you join OHC.
