Action Alert: Horse Owners Need Inherent Risk Relief Equine activities carry excessive litigation threat. NY’s litigious environment discourages insurance carriers from covering equine businesses/activities & dramatically increases the cost of liability coverage making many riding clubs, therapeutic riding instruction stables & youth organizations can unable afford the liability insurance necessary to continue their programs in this state. Ask your legislators to support equine inherent risk legislation!

New York State Horse Council

"To create a strong unified voice for all horse interests toward the preservation of a future for horses in New York State." This is the goal of the New York State Horse Council. We are New York's equine umbrella organization devoted to creating a forum in which horsemen of diverse interests can use their "horsepower" to guarantee a future of horses, horse sports, and horse-related businesses in New York State. We are especially interested in existing organizations joining us in a recognized capacity. The more we band together the stronger our voice will become.Besides the benefits of being part of the strength in numbers to advocate for horse-related interests at the state level, each individual member receives supplemental insurance to cover you if your horse causes personal or property damages. If nothing else, the membership dues are worth it for this!See www.nyshc.org for more information.
