Renewable, sustainable, green—interest in “resourceful” practices has never been higher, but balancing environmental responsibility with economic reality can be a challenge for everyone, whether their interests are agricultural or urban. Sometimes even finding up-to-date information can be difficult. The Green Ranch & Home Show will tackle the problem directly, running as a companion to the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo in Denver, March 13-15, 2009.

The 2009 Denver Rocky Mountain Horse Expo will feature the Extreme Cowboy Race® hosted by Craig Cameron, March 13-15.

May 14, 2008 was a great day for equus Coloradus—the horses in Colorado—when Governor Bill Ritter signed Senate Bill 178 into a law creating a special license plate honoring the contributions the horse industry makes to the culture and economy of Colorado. The bill was sponsored by Senator Jim Isgar and Representative Marsha Looper, both strong proponents of the state’s agricultural interests. The special plates bear the image of a horse and the words, “Support the Horse.” Proceeds from the sale of the plates will benefit the Colorado Horse Development Authority which promotes education and other programs of value to the horse industry in the state.
