Goals

The Marin Horse Council is dedicated to preserving the historic culture, supporting the presence and ensuring the future of equestrians, horses and horse facilities throughout Marin County. The council strives to promote and protect the general welfare of equestrians and equines through our educational seminars, newsletters and community involvement which includes the representation of all Marin horse people before municipal, county, and state agencies in matters of political interest important to equestrians, especially animal welfare, open space and land usage issues. Always eager to share the joy of horses, we also engage in community outreach with the goal of introducing the Marin horse community to others.

Achievements

1. Promote the safe sharing of multi-use trails through our Slow and Say Hello Outposts.

2. Publish a bi-monthly e-news to keep the equestrian community up to date on all public trail, barn and show news, public land issues, health alerts and more…

3. Provide members with opportunities to make new friends and reconnect with old friends through our bi-monthly club rides.

4. Provide free of cost riding lessons to the financially disadvantaged of Marin through the Marin Horse Council Linda Rubio Scholarship.

5. Assist barns in the development of their evacuation and shelter in place plans through our collaboration with HALTER.

6. Consult and collaborate with the GGNRA , PRNS, State Parks, MCOSD and Marin Water’s Watershed on the design and alignment of safety features on multi-use roads and trails.
