Membership has its privileges.....

The Nebraska Horse Council is excited to offer free clinics to NHC members! 

These “mini” clinics, held four times a year, will focus topics the NHC believes will be of interest to our members.

You are invited to bring a lawn chair to a nearby stable and learn about a variety of topics related to the horse industry.

This is just one of the ways the NHC is "giving back" to its members. 

Bring your Nebraska Horse Council Membership Card for admission! *
