Horses / Equine

The Georgia Department of Agriculture's (GDA) Equine Program regulates equine stables within the State.  We ensure that animals are treated humanely and have good living conditions.

 

Highlights

GDA's Equine Program oversees the humane treatment of equine, licenses and inspects stables, and helps control infectious and contagious diseases of equine. 

Equine inspectors also train volunteer organizations and local governments on safe and proper equine handling and rescue techniques. If you want to learn more, contact us using the information below.

License Types

Renew your license before it expires!

Your license expires 12 months after being issued. If you allow your license to expire, you may not continue business until all fees are paid and your license is brought current. Continuing business without an active license is a violation of the Animal Protection Act rules.

Note: renewals after the expiration date will incur a late fee of 100% of the license fee. By law, GDA cannot waive or exempt this fee.
