NAIS-Both Sides of the Issue

NAIS is a controversial issue that has resulted in polarized opinions from most of the people aware of it. Missouri Equine Council, Inc. is presenting both sides of this debate and we encourage you to take time to read these articles and educate yourself to decide what is best for you. We are including a few websites to help you get more information about the impact that this may have on horse owners and farmers in Missouri and across the nation.
