Andersen Named Director of the Unwanted Horse Coalition
The American Horse Council is pleased to announce the arrival of Julia Andersen, who will serve as the Director of the Unwanted Horse Coalition.
Andersen came to the UHC with a versatile background in communications and life-long passion for horses. While receiving undergraduate degrees in Rhetoric/Communications and Fine Arts from Mount St. Mary’s University, Andersen also founded the school’s Equestrian team and club. She went on to earn her master’s degree in Journalism from Emerson College. Andersen gained strong experience in writing, creativity and deadline management throughout her professional career in the television industry, while working in program development for the Discovery Channel and as an Associate Producer for Court TV. Most recently, Andersen worked for Maryland Life Magazine as an Account Executive.
Jay Hickey, President of the American Horse Council, said, “We are happy to have Julia join the team. She brings great enthusiasm, and an understanding of the horse industry.”
“I have always found my energy in horses. Working for the Unwanted Horse Coalition on the problem of the unwanted horse is the perfect opportunity for me. I am truly lucky to find a career where I can combine my experience in communications and my knowledge of the horse industry,” said Andersen.
As the national association representing all segments of the horse industry in Washington, D.C., the American Horse Council works daily to represent equine interests and opportunities. Organized in 1969, the AHC promotes and protects the industry by communicating with Congress, federal agencies, the media and the industry on behalf of all horse related interests each and every day.
The AHC is member supported by individuals and organizations representing virtually every facet of the horse world from owners, breeders, veterinarians, farriers, breed registries and horsemen's associations to horse shows, race tracks, rodeos, commercial suppliers and state horse councils.
