2017 Oregon Equine Economic Impact Study |
Instructions & Survey Information
All respondents must be over 18 years of age and own or lease a horse/mule/donkey in Oregon. All answers should pertain to the animals in Oregon.
The purpose of this study is to obtain information about respondents’ horses, demographics, participation in the industry, horse-related expenditures, and economic impacts. Results of the study will be used by industry representatives, including the Equine Science department at Linn-Benton Community College, Oregon Horse Country, Oregon’s equine non-profits, Oregon equine business owners and other policy makers to respond to current needs of the state’s horse industry. Your responses and opinions will help identify trends and potential issues in the Oregon equine industry and document the industry’s contribution to the state economy.
There is no direct benefit to you as a survey participant. However, results will be used to address the needs of the Oregon equine industry. Taking part in this study is completely voluntary, and your completion and submission of the survey indicates your consent to participate. You may skip any questions that you do not want to answer.
The records of this study will be kept private. Public reports, presentations, or other research or education materials will not include any information that will make it possible to identify you. Numerical data will be reported as group data. Any written comment used as a quote will be stripped of references to places, individuals, organizations, or other references that could suggest the identity or location of the respondent. Information about you will be kept confidential to the extent permitted or required by law.
The project is coordinated by Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon Horse Country. The study protocol and all study materials have been reviewed and approved by the Linn-Benton Community College Institutional Review department, which seeks to ensure the rights of all research participants are respected and protected.
If you have questions about this study, you may contact the Oregon Horse Country office at 971-224-5879 or Brandi@OregonHorseCountry.com.
