New statewide horse coalition

Attention:  Arizona Equine Advocates:  Public Meeting Announcement
 
Join us for the inaugural public meeting of the Arizona Coalition for Equines
 
You are invited to attend the first public meeting for a new coalition to help horses and their caregivers.  Arizona Coalition for Equines (ACE) is forming to bring together horse advocates throughout the state who share a common goal of enhancing the care and treatment of all equines, and to prevent abuse, neglect, and abandonment.  ACE is focused on positive ideas and solutions, and will work to provide the necessary tools for successful equine care.
