The American Horse Publications Association (AHP) just released the results from the Equine Industry Survey. 11,171 people participated. The statistics show positive trends in the horse industry despite hard economic times. Some of the statistics reflect good things ahead for equine employment.
Over half of the participants expect to remain at the same level of participation in the horse industry over the next two years. Looking at the years 2007-2009, the age of participants is getting younger and the income levels are getting higher. Looking forward to the next two years, the trend of younger people is likely to continue, but income levels are not expected to be a factor.
The majority of participants said they would deal with the increasing costs of horse ownership by reducing costs in other areas in their lives (not by reducing the number of horses.) 70% of the participants say that they participated in more or the same number of competitions with their horses in 2009 as they did in 2007. About 80% of participants say they expect to own the same number of horses or more horses in 2011 as they did in 2007.
All of these results are positive for horse jobs. Most people are keeping their horses and are continuing to use them in competition. Look for more information on the results of the study at a web site or in a magazine near you.

Everybody wants to know what a job pays or what an employee should ask. Salaries and compensation in horse jobs are a touchy subject. With out data, everyone is in the dark. Employers don't know what to pay and applicants don't know what to ask.
Equimax has come to the rescue with the Horse Industry Compensation Study. Compensation is much more than salary. Compensation may include, commissions, bonuses, housing, health benefits, retirement plans, board for horses, meals, or a vehicle to drive. Information on all this compensation for horse jobs in the USA is available in the Horse Industry Compensation Study.
Participate in the study and you can see the results for free! If you don't have time to participate and you just want to see the results, get permanent access to the results for only $19.95, by ordering here.
Don't be in the dark any longer. Find out what the competition is paying or being paid.
