“Do Right By The Horse”- 2020 APHA National Convention Recap

March 4, 2020 Comments Off

The horse industry, at large, and stock horse breed organizations specifically have dropped in horses registered, as well as individual memberships progressively, and, for the most part, continuously over the last decade.
