The American Horse Council (AHC) will begin collecting data for its 2017 Economic Impact Study on April 1.

“We are incredibly grateful for the pledges we received from generous equine organizations to fund both the national study as well as several state and segment breakouts,” said AHC President Julie Broadway. “Due to the generosity of these organizations, we are able to begin the data collection for the study. However, we are still short of our goal amount and are hoping to receive final pledges to officially put us over the finish line for fundraising.”

Individuals or organizations wishing to contribute towards the goal can visit the AHC website or contact the AHC at afurst@horsecouncil.org.

The survey will be tailored to individual segments and distributed via an online link; the AHC is encouraging industry members to share that link with others
