About Us

 The Purpose of the OCHC is to establish and  maintain a corporate organization encouraging cooperation and  participation among people who are interested in preserving, promoting  and improving the overall equine industry in Orange County, New York  with emphasis on education programs, hands-on experiences in the various  equine disciplines.  As a whole, the OCHC cannot be construed as a  special interest group serving any one or a combination of segments of  the equine industry.

 Membership will be open to any individual  who is interested in the equine industry.  Annual dues will be set by  the Board of Directors and shall accompany each membership application.   Each application shall be in the form of a questionnaire that will  provide information on each applicant for the future statistical use for  the organization. All applications forms shall include a closing  affidavit agreeing to abide by the OCHC By Laws and to act as advocates  for the growth of the Orange County New York equine industry.  Every  member has the privilege of one vote in all matters requiring the  casting of a ballot.

We're always looking to expand our pool of talent. We want  passionate, dedicated, affable people who love working with our local  equine community to make their horse-owning dreams a reality.

The  Orange County Horse Council is a local organization supporting local  horsemen and women. We urge you to come check us out – you'll be  surprised by how unlike other organizations we really are.
