Progress Update:
What is the State of the Horse Industry in the United States?
|
We are delighted to report that in just over 24 hours nearly 700 horse owners, equine professionals, and people whose businesses depend in whole, or in part, on the health and viability of the horse industry in the U.S. have taken the time (usually 30 to 45 minutes) to fill out this critical survey. Already we are learning some very interesting things. Check out the results we have, so far:
This page is updated every time a survey is completed. (You may need to refresh your browser to get it to update).
Glitch Fix:
If you or anyone you hear about is having trouble accessing the survey--some are getting a message "you have already taken the survey," have them clear out the cache and cookies on their computer and that will solve the problem.
This is NOT the survey that many of you were asked to complete several months ago from a different organization. The results and analysis from this survey will be ultimately contributed to the US Governmental Accountability Office (GAO) to be included in their study of the effect of the closure of horse processing facilities on the welfare of horses themselves, and the effect on farm economy, which is due March 1st.
This is a GREAT start, but we have a long ways to go to reach as broad a spectrum of the horse owning, and equine industry, population as possible.
Please help us spread the word by forwarding to every horse owner you know. THANK YOU!

Please take the time to complete this very important survey. Our
ability to continue to enjoy and use horses is at stake. All
information will be kept strictly confidential. Only aggregate
information without identifying characteristics will be forwarded to
the Governmental Accountability Office to provide as comprehensive and
accurate information about the state of the US horse industry as
possible to the US Congress.
PLEASE FORWARD TO EVERY HORSE OWNER, HORSE PROFESSIONAL, OR EQUINE
SERVICE PROVIDER YOU KNOW!
It is critical that we receive your completed responses in the next few
days!
