The depth and diversity of the
horse industry is as exciting as it is complex. It touches all levels of our
community, providing many wonderful opportunities for people to be involved
both socially and professionally.
Research and reports of the
industry leave no doubt that the Australian horse industry makes a monumental
contribution to our lives and our economy. However, its structure and purpose
is as varied as it is vast.
This gives it a unique identity that even most
horse people are oblivious to and others find difficult to comprehend,
appreciate or respect.
This lack of understanding hampers the industry’s growth
and development in many areas.
There are other crucial issues which are
confronting the entire horse industry that are intricate and threatening. These
require urgent attention and collaborative action.
We
have developed a solution with a strategy that will address these issues,
create more employment, business and sporting opportunities for people and a
more vibrant, prosperous future for the industry.
