The Arizona Horse Council is Arizona’s Official Affiliate of the American Horse Council, Washington D.C. The organization’s mission is to protect equestrians' rights and promote the equine industry in Arizona.

Organized in the 1960’s, as ASHA, the Arizona Horse Council is member supported by individuals and organizations representing owners, breeders, equine professionals, and horsemen’s associations for youth programs, recreational riding, horse events and commercial suppliers.

This is what the Arizona Horse Council has accomplished for horse owners in the state over the last several years:

2. Supported the efforts to put a voluntary rescue registry into law
3. Supported the efforts to put the Horse Tripping Statute into effect
4. Raised awareness in the horse community regarding the Maricopa County Text Amendment protecting equestrian activities in rural zoning
5. Conducted the only Equine Career and Youth Fair in Arizona
6. Provided animals, volunteers and funds to local schools in support of Black Stallion Literacy Program
7. Coordinated annual equine statewide summits to identify and form committees on addressing current horse issues
8. Established the Equine Rescue Registry Program

Thousands of horse owners in Arizona support the Arizona Horse Council through membership to strengthen the equestrian voice in the community.
