THE CCHC "WHY"

It dawned on some of us in this group that there isn't much coordination amongst all in the equestrian world.  As an example, there is no central calendar of all horse events, our voice has been historically drowned out with the Forest Service by OHV riders, just to name a few reasons for this group.  We aim to help all horse people have easier access to more resources.  All of this done by a group of volunteers.
