Do you own or ride horses? Your input is vital!
We want to be proactive in protecting the integrity of the GEKCO Conservancy– the open space, equestrian industry, and rural character. We need to know what a horse needs to stay safe, thrive and live here. If you know horses you can help by filling in the HORSES' NEEDS FORM.
Your equestrian business is under threat!
If you employ horse grooms or erect stables, paddock fencing, arenas, own a riding school or saddlery shop, are a riding instructor, vet, own a veterinary surgery or are a feed merchant you WILL be directly affected by the development issues in our area. Send us an IMPACT STATEMENT now!
