The American Horse Council is kicking off what could be one of the biggest studies in its more than 50 years with the 2023 National Economic Impact Study.
Major economic changes have occurred during the past five years. Not only have business closures and resulting federal stimulus programs related to the pandemic made a major impact, but the horse industry has adapted to historic changes made to the tax code since 2017.
An economic impact study examines the effect of an event or industry has on the economy and usually measures changes in business revenue, business profits, personal wages, and/or jobs. As a large, economically diverse industry, the United States horse industry contributes significantly to the American economy.
The Economic Impact Survey starts April 3 and runs through September 29. In order for the survey to be a success, we need help to spread the word, not only at the start of the survey but throughout the five months. The AHC is proud to offer assistance with the media kit below. Promotion of the survey can start now!
