The Australian Horse Industry Council (AHIC) represents, at the Federal level, the interests of all persons involved with horses and issues pertaining to the health and welfare of all horses in Australia. The AHIC operates through the voluntary services of elected Directors and Trustees and the expertise of individuals co-opted on to sub-committees. Financial support for AHIC activities comes from subscriptions from organisations and individuals.There are many groups within the horse industry with each group having diverse and special interests. However many issues facing these groups are not unique and affect large parts of the industry. These issues are more appropriately and effectively addressed by a single national body rather than a multitude of organisations representing different industry groups. The AHIC in conjunction with State Horse Councils aims to address these issues.
