The Colorado Horse Council’s mission is to bring horse owners and the Colorado horse industry together. The Council does this by creating a common voice between them through legislation and education. That is really what this Horse Expo is all about. The CHC respects all breeds and is not a discipline-specific organization. It also employs a full-time contract lobbyist, who works with the State Legislature on horse and agriculture-related issues.

The 2020 Horse Expo will fill the complex with many equestrian events. The Mane Event is a family show, for instance. Parents, bring your kids to meet many breeds and disciplines of horses. Also, the equine performances for the younger audience is geared towards the beauty and capabilities of the horse. Bring your horse and ride along with the professionals in the Ride With The Experts event. Also, don’t forget about the Art in the Park event. Meet artists like Dawn Key, Cindy Harrison, and Samantha Barela. In addition, for information about the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo, contact Colorado Horse Property today.
