Greetings horse community!

We are looking for a few people to become invested in the Orange County Horse Council (OCHC) and consider a position on the board of directors.

Being a board member means you take an active role in the OCHC activities, support the speed events, participate in monthly meetings, and look to expand the OCHC. If you do not want to become a board member, please consider joining as a general member as we prepare for next year's activities.

The following positions are being considered for elections in November.

President
Treasurer
Recording Secretary
Corresponding Secretary

If you would like to take an active role in our organization and make a difference for the equine community in Orange County, we would love to hear from you. Nominations for the 4 positions are being accepted by email at [email protected]. For inquiries or more information, you can also text the Orange County Horse Council at (845) 313-0046.
