As a horse owner or manager, you can provide input on the management of the horses in your care and the issues in the U.S. horse industry that concern you the most. Have your opinion count in this equine industry survey that is only conducted every three years.

So far, we have collected nearly 7,000 responses – please help us reach our goal of 10,000 by completing the survey sharing the survey link (www.ahpequineindustrysurvey.com) with family and friends who are horse owners 18 and over and reside in the United States.

Respondents who complete the survey and provide an email address at the end of the survey will be notified when an overview summary of the survey results has been published on the AHP website. Currently, the average completion time is 11 minutes, and the survey closes on March 30, 2021
