Equine Guelph and the University of Guelph are conducting a study on the awareness of current research among members of Ontario’s horse industry.
The study aims to measure who in the equine industry is accessing University of Guelph research, how they are accessing it, and whether the information changes their practices.
In order to do that, members of the industry (riders, athletes, owners, veterinarians, and equine business owners) are being asked to complete a short online survey.
The survey will ask industry about involvement with the horse industry and where participants source horse-related information and if they have any experiences with U of G equine research.
Officials say participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous and should take no more than 30 minutes. Participants under the age of 18 are asked to seek consent from their parent or guardian before completing the survey.
The research team can be contacted with any questions at jthomaso@ovc.uoguelph.ca, or amy.binning@mail.mcgill.ca.
