Officials at the American Horse Council Foundation (AHCF) have announced that they will be extending a deadline to complete a survey to update the National Economic Impact Study to Sept. 4.
“We decided to extend the deadline due to a last-minute surge in responses, combined with the 'back to school' audience to ensure everyone was really given an opportunity to complete the survey,” said AHC President Julie Broadway. “We continue to encourage people to share the survey link on available platforms such as email, social media, blogs, websites, etc. We want as many people as possible to complete the survey.” For those interested in sharing the survey, please use the following link: https://innovationgroup.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0oaYvVhgaWHgpvL?Source=Request.
The study sets out to document the economic effects of racing, showing, recreation, rodeo and other segments of the horse industry on the state and national economies. It intends to provide data on the number of horses, jobs and related industries that are impacted by horse ownership.
The AHCF reminds that all data is confidential and will not be shared.
The AHC particularly encourages everyone to provide information on your horse-related expenses since they will form the primary basis of the economic impact.
If you have any questions, please contact the AHC at [email protected].
