Take the AHC Horse Industry Economic Impact Survey

(Washington, DC)- The American Horse Council Foundation (AHCF) is pleased to announce that the survey link for the update of the economic impact study is now available! Individuals will be able to share this survey with others involved in the industry, as well as post the link on social media to encourage others to take the survey.

“Phase two will consist of an open link that will be sent out via social media, press releases, email blasts, etc. This invites anyone that wants to complete a survey the ability to do so using the social networks of our member organizations to increase participation in a ‘snowball’ effect,” continued Ms. Broadway. “The questions are exactly the same as in the phase one survey link, but the URL for each survey link is slightly different so The Innovation Group can distinguish these responses from the control group. We certainly want as many people as possible to complete the survey, it just needed to be done in phases so the statisticians and economists can interpret the data correctly.”

The main survey is designed to capture the impact of individual horse owners (whether commercial or recreational) and industry suppliers of equine-related goods and services. To take the horse owner & supplier survey please click here:
