As a horse owner in Douglas and Elbert County, we are asking for your support and, equally important, your input for this organization. Members may attend general membership, will receive a quarterly newsletter, and can attend educational programs.

Membership in the Douglas Elbert County Horse Council will give horse owners a say in the process which affects how they use and enjoy their horses. In addition to disaster rescue, the Council will work in conjunction with the counties to preserve open space and protect horse owner rights.
