The Granby Regional Horse Council was initially formed in 1994 at the old Circle Double G Farm (originally located on route 202 in Granby, MA) by a group of local horse owners who rode the trails of Granby, Belchertown, and the surrounding communities. After realizing that there was a large population of horses, horse related businesses, and recreational riders in the area, and seeing a need to bring these groups of horse people together, we decide to formaly establish the group. So in 1996, the Granby Regional Horse Council, Inc. was officially established and incorporated as a non-profit 501C equestrian organization.
Our goals and purposes then and now, are to provide equine educational venues, host recreational & competitive events, save and maintain trails and open space for equestrian use, To these purposes, we have been hosting educational lectures, organizing trail rides, working with other groups to save trails and open space, and presenting horse shows, gymkhanas, sleigh rally, and more for nearly 10 years now!
We welcome new members of all ages and encourage all to attend our monthly meetings held every 2nd Tuesday evening of the month. (See newsletter for date’s times)
