Equine Land Conservation Resource

The Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR) is the only national organization dedicated to saving land for horse-related activities. Land is diminishing at the astonishing rate of 250 acres per hour, begging the question “Where will you ride, drive, compete, race, raise foals, and grow hay in the future?” ELCR addresses issues faced by all horse owners regardless of size, breed, and discipline. Since all land is saved locally, we provide the information horsemen need to protect horse lands and trails in their home town.
