Equine Guelph is conducting research on horse industry participation in Ontario

.

Standardbred Canada is assisting Equine Guelph with a pilot edition of the survey, which will be distributed to 200 SC members who reside in Ontario. Some surveys will be sent via regular mail and the others will be distributed via email. Surveys will only be distributed to SC members who have authorized the release of their contact information.

The results of the current research will be used to create a wider-scale industry study. This future research will be used for the following:

• To improve equine education programs
• To update past research and provide a more current profile of the industry
• To differentiate between those who may be new to the industry and those who have been active within the industry for years
• To educate governmental agencies responsible for the allocation of resources as to the various trends within the industry

If you receive a survey in the mail or via email, we encourage you to take the time to complete and return it to Equine Guelph. Your assistance and feedback is important and greatly appreciated.
