Industry Info American Horse Council Seeks Equine Business Sector Input on Trades & Tariffs The US outdoor recreation in- dustry has recently expressed con- cerns regarding the implications of tariffs and trade to their thriving manufacturing and sales of outdoor equipment such as RVs, Boats, Bikes, Snowmobiles, Fishing equipment, Archery equipment, etc.. As recre- ational horseback riding is the largest sector of the equine industry, the American Horse Council has been asked by the outdoor recreation industry if the equine industry is concerned about these issues. We are reaching out to the equine business sector with a short survey to get some sense of possible implications. The following survey will take no more than 5 minutes. Your response should be inclusive of all equine sec- tors of the industry you serve – i.e. do not limit your answers to recreation sector. We would appreciate your response by no later than September 16th. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ equinebusiness About the American Horse Council As the national association repre- senting all segments of the horse indus- try in Washington, D.C., the American Horse Council works daily to represent equine interests and opportunities.
