Saddle Up For the American Horse Council's Congressional Cavalry Program!

All horse owners, breeders, veterinarians, trainers, competitors, recreational riders, service providers, and anyone who desires to be involved in grassroots efforts in Washington are encouraged to join the Congressional Cavalry Program. The program seeks to identify at least one member in each Congressional District across America who will agree to contact his/her Representative/Senator or other federal officials on important issues when asked.

Individuals will be mobilized when there is a need for grassroots lobbying. The AHC will provide participants with whatever information is necessary. Members of the program will be put on an email, fax, or mail list so they can be contacted and activated quickly.

Other Congressional Cavalry activities may include:

• Visits with Members of Congress in Washington or back in the home district
• Invitations to Members of Congress to visit your facility, event or activity
• Regular reports to Congress/staff about your activities “back home,” illustrating the importance of the horse industry to the local economy, sport and recreational life

If you want to sign up or have any additional questions about the program, please contact the American Horse Council at 202-296-4031 or ahc@horsecouncil.org.
