Grow the SCHC Equine Disaster Relief & Preparedness Fund
Your Horse Council is working tirelessly to protect the health and safety of equines and to support equestrian activities in Sonoma County.
Your donation directly impacts the Sonoma County's horse community. It will provide resources used for our Economic Impact Study - which when last completed estimated the equine industry generated $613 million annually for Sonoma businesses, supported over 7,700 jobs, and provided over $11 million in annual local tax revenue - figures second only to the region's wine industry.
Sponsors make possible our non-profit's countless activities that support the horse owner including disaster relief, advocacy for trail access, development and safety, youth programs, as well as grass-roots community inclusion and outreach through the award-winning quarterly SCHC Horse Journal.
