ELCR is the only national organization working to advance the conservation of land for horse related activities. Economic, cultural, demographic and political forces have converted 13 million acres of rural land into subdivisions, malls, roads, parking lots and office space since 2000. The impending loss of open land has reached crisis proportions for horse owners who need land to ride, grow hay and grain and pasture their animals. ELCR is the resource for horse people, towns, land trusts and elected officials nationwide on such topics as getting organized, securing conservation easements that are friendly to horses and environmental issues related to horses and land.
