Great survey to participate in. AHP is the umbrella association for all equine
publications in America. Christy
Â
Equine Industry Survey Launched by American Horse Publications
 The American Horse Publications (AHP) is conducting an Equine Industry Survey
to gauge participation trends in the U.S. equine industry. In addition, the
survey seeks to gather information regarding the most important issues facing
the industry.
 Dr. C. Jill Stowe is providing consulting services for data collection and
analysis to the AHP. Dr. Stowe is an assistant professor of Agricultural
Economics at the University of Kentucky.
 The survey is sponsored by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health and Pfizer
Animal Health.
 Those eligible to participate in the survey are men and women, 18 years of age
and older, who currently own, manage, or lease at least one horse and live in
the United States.
 The survey closes January 15, 2010.
 This study is anonymous; this means that no one, not even members of the
research team, will be able to associate information you give with responses.
When the survey results are tallied, only aggregated results will be presented.
 “The AHP’s member publications, Web sites, and newsletters reach nearly 3
million people involved in the horse industry in the United States and around
the world,” said Kimberly S. Brown, current AHP president. It was Brown who
proposed the survey, which was backed unanimously by the AHP board.
 “We have been through a rough year, and there are many stories out there of
unwanted horses and the decline of the horse industry,” noted Brown. “But I
think the real story is the wanted horses and their owners who are still strong
despite the economic downturn.
 “We think this is a great opportunity for us to use our collective resources
and reach into the horse industry to get answers about how we are doing today,
how we think we’ll be doing in the near future, and what we are concerned
about in our industry.
 “Let’s get 100,000 or more horse owners to participate in this survey!”
said Brown. “We have a wonderful chance to come together to gather information
that can benefit us all, so spread the word!”
 “I especially want to thank Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health and
Pfizer Animal Health for sponsoring this survey,” said Brown. “Both of these
companies—and the people behind the companies—are supporters of the horse
industry because of their love of the horse, not just because it’s their
business. And I want to thank Dr. Stowe for being willing to contribute her time
and expertise to ensure we have a legitimate survey with accurate statistical
analysis.”
