The King County Executive Horse Council is an umbrella organization, uniting horsemen of all breeds and interests. The KCEHC supports the horse industry and equestrian way of life by advocating for the protection and creation of equestrian trails and facilities. We are the official horse advisors to government and developers. The KCEHC has promoted the creation of a trail ordinance, equestrian overlays and trail language for comprehensive and community plans, inventoried trails for community plans and developed educational brochures. 

 The KCEHC publishes three brochures: Share the Road with Horses, Basic Horse Management, and Trail Etiquette, Safety and Equipment. Our newsletter keeps you informed about equestrian issues.

           We must be united to protect our Equestrian lifestyle.    COME JOIN US!

  Kathryn Taylor Park is now open to all users once more. Thanks, PSE, for getting the power back on quickly!
