History and Mission of Granby Regional
Horse Council, Inc. 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. The Belchertown Chapter of
the GRHC was formed in 2008 and is comprised mostly of residents of the town of Belchertown but it accepts other towns members
too. Members of this chapter are also members of the GRHC
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)
