These
statistics come from and Economic Impact of the U.S. Horse Industry study that
was released in December 1996. This study was done by an outside
research firm called the Barents Group, which is a subsidary of KPMG.
These statistics were obtained through surveys. The study comes in 4
volumes with Volume 1 being the national summary, which is information for the
entire United States. Volume 2 contains information for 11 focus states,
Volumne 3 is the Technical information on how the study was done including
sample surveys and Volume 4 is breakout information for Thoroughbred and
Quarter Horses broken down by the 11 focus states as well as nationally.
Volume 1 is available for $35.00; Volume 2 is $15.00; Volume 3 is $50.00 and
Volume 4 is $50.00. You can purchase the volumes individually or
purchase the entire study for $150. We need either a check or money
order in advance or we accept VISA or Mastercard if you prefer.
Regarding the statistics your organization has
displayed on the following web page:
What year were these statistics gathered and do
they cover the entire United States? Also, what is the source of the
stastics.
Thank you,
