How to have a voice with your Local and Regional Council

Your voice matters - but you have to use it.

We cannot expect change if equestrians are not represented at the table. This latest fact sheet gives guidance to how to make yourself heard.

That is why we need more local Equestrian Advocacy Groups across Aotearoa.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel. An EAG can work locally while being supported by the experience, knowledge, resources and collective voice of NZEAN.

Already have an equestrian group? You may be able to incorporate advocacy into your existing agenda.

Want to establish an EAG in your town, district or region? We can help you get started.

And most importantly – join NZEAN. The more members and local groups standing together, the stronger our collective voice becomes when speaking to councils, government agencies and infrastructure organisations. https://www.nzean.org/product-page/nzean-membership

Local voices. National support. One stronger equestrian community.
