About the Athens Area Horse Community
The Athens Area Horse Community exists to help local horse people solve the problems they collectively face and to offer opportunities for growth and improvement. AAHC focuses on serving horse people that reside within an hour of Athens, Georgia, and they are dedicated to the growth of the local community so that horses are here for future generations.
The AAHC are working to unite the horse community – to partner with county and state level leadership, fighting for sustainable development of green space, offering education and resources for both horse lovers and the general public.
100% of the proceeds from the Horse Photo Calendar Contest submissions and voting will go directly to the Athens Area Horse Community to further serve the local horse community.
