  • To forward the best interest of the horse industry of New Mexico in all its phases and specifically of sponsoring, cultivating and fostering an interest in fine horses and fine horsemanship; 
  • To give aid and support to every type of activity concerning horses; 
  • To assist and encourage any type of equine activity which will further the general purpose; 
  • To assist and encourage acquisition, building, maintenance and supervision of trails and rights of way;

2011 Fundraiser

It takes MONEY to accomplish our mission.  Primary income for the Horse Council is from the dues paid by members, the sale of Equine Liability Act signs, and an annual fundraiser.  For the 2011 fundraiser, Quickstalls provided a 12 x 12 foot stall, with wood siding and a pro-panel roof, valued at over $2,800.  The stall was displayed at the 2011 State Fair, in front of the Horse Arena next to the Horse Council tent.  On the final day of the Fair, the winning ticket was drawn.  The winner was Terry Coburn from Four Corners Equine Rescue.  Congratulations, and thanks for supporting the New Mexico Horse Council!

Watch for announcement of the 2012 fundraiser after the first of the year.
 

To help accomplish our mission, the Horse Council provides booth space and a stall in front of the Horse Arena at the NM State Fair for use by member organizations to display a horse and information about their breed or discipline.  Here are photos from the recent State Fair Booth.
