The Equestrian Partners program is a growing coalition of organizations from across the country that are committed to helping ELCR fulfill its mission of conserving land and access for all equines.  Despite their diverse interests and activities, our Partners recognize that with land in the U.S. being developed at the rate of 250 acres per hour, the future of our lives with horses as we know it know is in dire jeopardy.  Equestrian Partners network through ELCR and promote ELCR’s mission to their various members, constituents, donors, etc.    It is necessary for us to act now to conserve land so that future generations will be able to enjoy horses as equestrians do today.  If your organization would like to join our national efforts to save land for horses, visit www.elcr.org, or call (859) 455-8383 for more information.
