MORE ABOUT THE RFVHC - AND WHY WE WANT TO WORK FOR YOU!

THE RFVHC - The Pitkin County & City of Aspen - Open Space & Trails Board members have identified The Roaring Fork Valley Horse Council (RFVHC) as the entity that they will work with, regarding horse related issues, such as Cozy Point Equestrian Center and Glassier Open Space Management Plans. Let us know your wishes for future horse related issues.  RFVHC is a non-profit organization, established in 2003, having roots originating in the Aspen Riding Club of 1954.

​We are the unified voice of the equestrian community with a responsibility to protect and preserve our Western Heritage by “keeping horses on trails”, insuring parking for trucks and horse trailers and promoting safety education for all multi-use trail partners. 

The RFVHC promotes charitable involvement in equine related experiences and activities, educating the public on equestrian issues, providing connections and resources for the equine community, and supporting the overall well- being of horses and horsemanship.

WHERE DOES YOUR DONATION MONEY GO - We support other non–profits and help create these horse related events, we do research and we develop documentation of trails, truck & trailer parking for public and private projects. 

We host and maintain a member’s web site with contacts and communication for our local horse industry and a Face Book page with on-going information for education. We also use your membership and donation dollars to pay for office supplies, printing costs, promotional campaigns for education, safety and community awareness that preserve our Western Heritage. We provide many open member meetings and enjoyable events, which require basic costs to produce.

We attend local government meetings to be the voice for the equestrian community. We interface and collaborate with private, non-profits, and government land managers to secure and sustain an equestrian presence on our landscape. Wildlife habitat conservation sustains the lands we ride across. Our non-profit partners and governmental entities help us complete the circle for sustainable recreation.

BECOME A MEMBER AND DONATE – We thank you all for your support and recognize all our members, from $35.00 to $500.00, and the long term wonderful, lifetime members that have recognized the importance of sustaining this non-profit organization. Ask us how you can help support the community or join a committee. How can we help you?

You are valuable members. We need your ideas and feedback to enrich the quality of our equestrian experiences, whether showing or trail riding, ranching or competing in rodeos, and no matter what equestrian disciplines you practice. The RFVHC is respected in our community. You, our wonderful members make us who we are.  Thank you for your financial support and your willingness to show up, speak up, and create a compelling presence of the RFVHC.

Please consider, in this new-year, making a larger contribution to the RFVHC, please join us for our special events, meetings, and educational offerings. You are a part of us, and we represent you and the Horse Industry in our Valley. We need your voice as a member to help keep horses in and on our landscape.

CENSUS - Help us learn about our equine members and business members, fill out our members survey today

The purpose of this census is to educate our members and City and County officials about the income the horse industry generates in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Landowners and business owners pay taxes in all three counties, and we want to preserve the heritage of the horse and our western culture in the valley.  Visitors come west to enjoy our Western Heritage. Your information will make a difference to their vacation experiences.
