The American Horse Council's 2023 Economic Impact Study has been open all summer but will close next Friday, Sept. 29.
PLEASE TAKE THIS SURVEY if you haven't already!
These data are extremely important for the Maryland Horse Council's work with legislators and policy makers. Data from the past AHC studies are how we know that:
1. Maryland has more horses per square mile than in any other state;
2. the Maryland horse industry has a $2.1 billion economic impact on the state; and that
3. the horse industry generates thousands of jobs across an array of industries.
Make sure you are counted!
N.B. -- these data will be used for purposes of the AHC economic impact study only. They will not be shared with any taxing, licensing, or immigration authority.LAST CHANCE TO BE COUNTED!

September MHC Government Relations Update
