Reporting life matters. It's business. Exploring to tell stories about business and life is our passion at Moo Dog Press Magazine and our news community. Change, adapt, use common sense, apply intelligence. Maybe that's old-fashioned in a digital world, but so is thinking for yourself. To send us a comment or idea, visit our contact page. Reporting on Real Life, digital and print, Moo Dog Press Media.
Researchers at the University of Connecticut have been engaged in systematically analyzing the state's horse industry in order to provide information to horse owners, horse businesses, and policy makers on demographic and economic characteristics of horse ownership in Connecticut. The project has involved interdisciplinary collaboration between economists and an animal scientist. This web page presents some of the available outcomes of our research. These include a brochure and a report that shares the results of the first horse survey to be conducted in Connecticut. We hope that our efforts will not only provide information to those interested in learning more about the unique characteristics of Connecticut's horse industry, but will also encourage further study of this important area. Financial support of this research was provided by the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources at the University of Connecticut.
