Equine Organizations and Clubs

Snail Mail Addresses

I must be crazy, 'cause here I am at it again. This time it's the Clubs and Association Directory from the old Pacific & Prairie Horse Journals Website. If this site still exists in some form or another, I haven't located it yet in order to reestablish our link to the site. Visitors, please help me out here; are they still around? The Pacific & Prairie Horse Journals cover Canada - the Pacific Coast region and the Midwestern Prairie region, respectively. The magazines did have a sizable readership from what I could gather at that time, and as I recall the website was a nice one.

The date was also from 1997. (In fact they were both printed on the same day!) Again, most of these snail mail addresses are likely to be current. Address and place name misspellings are unintentional and likely the result of a mispelling on the original webpage. Please note that much of the information about each club may not be current; this listing was made from the original and reflects only that which was originally posted on the Internet.

Included here are breed, equine service and equestrian organizations. I hope you can find what your looking for.

I will attempt to make the links from this page, but as time is not always available to search out all the details, you may find them on the regular organizational links page or the specific breed article related to the organization with which you wish to make contact. If you find one that needs to be updated, please e-mail the webmaster with the details.
