Virginia Horse Industry Board - Their mission is the promotion and economic development of the Virginia horse industry. The VHIB works to help Virginia's horse industry thrive - primarily through its grants program. The Board annually awards grants to projects in the areas of education, research and marketing. Since 1995, the VHIB has "reinvested" more than $1.6 million back into the industry. In addition, through the relatively new "Virginia Bred" program, the Board has invested some $90,000 into helping breed and other equine associations promote Virginia bred horses.
