2022 Economic Impact Study
As the voice of Alberta horse owners and riders, we have sought for many years to better understand our equestrian community and its contribution to the province. In 2021 we conducted a study designed to capture the impact of all businesses and services in Alberta that connect, directly and indirectly, to the equine industry. Results were compiled and released in the spring of 2022.
The Economic Impact Study shows the equine community’s significant impacts across the province, demonstrating the great importance of this diverse and wide-reaching sector. Findings will help determine the best way to enhance and grow our increasingly vibrant equine community.
