Minnesota Horsemen's Directory

The goal of the Minnesota Horsemen's Directory is to compile a comprehensive listing of horse-related services in and near the state so that horse-people can find relevant information quickly. 

The Directory includes hundreds of free listings -- businesses and organizations can submit a listing for free. Also included -- a Jobs section.

The MHC approves listings and will work to keep the Directory up-to-date. The Directory is advertisement-free.
