We facilitate grass roots efforts to educate New York State Legislators regarding the tremendous economic impact of $4.8 Billion provided by our horse industry and develop appropriate equine agricultural legislation. We also focus on trail use development & standards, zoning, research into horse health and nutrition and humane treatment. We work in tandem with a number of affiliated organizations to make sure your needs are met. We are especially interested in existing New York state equine organizations joining us in a recognized capacity. The more we band together the stronger our voices will become. Please become a member of our group, and by volunteering to support our many committee efforts.

Under New York Agriculture and Markets Law § 385, it is illegal to transport, import, export, purchase, or possess horses with the intent that they be slaughtered for human or animal consumption. The law protects all members of the equine family, including horses, ponies, donkeys, mules, and burros. Violations are criminal misdemeanors; offenders face fines, imprisonment, or both.

New York State Police arrested a Pennsylvania truck driver early Wednesday after stopping him with a trailer of horses troopers say were being taken to Canada to be slaughtered.

‼️ NOTE FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING VISITING US AT The Great New York State Fair TODAY:

The Fair has reopened following this morning’s storms, but flooding remains an issue on the grounds and in parking areas. The Grey Lot is currently closed, and we’re also hearing reports of flooding along sections of I-81.

⚠️ Please use caution and allow extra time if you’re heading to the Fair today.

Another weather system is expected to move through this evening, bringing additional rain. Keep an eye on the weather and travel conditions throughout the day, and stay safe!

Please contact your youth if they plan to attend the fair today and advise accordingly.
