  • Economic Impact Report on the New Zealand Sport Horse Industry
    Economic Impact Report on the New Zealand Sport Horse Industry By Alex Matheson Michèle E.M. Akoorie July, 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following personal outside of the Waikato University Management School for their contribution towards research information for this project: Dr Chris Rogers, Institute of Veterinary Animal and Biomedical Sciences, Massey Equine, Massey University, New Zealand Emma Morel, Director of the Horse Business Management Programme, Marcus Oldham Farm Management College, Geelong, Australia Vivien Dostine, President New Zealand Horse Recreation Group, Massey, Auckland, New Zealand Executive Summary The aim of this research paper is to gain an understanding of the size and scope of the sport horse industry in New Zealand. The definition of the sport horse industry is that it comprises of all horses in New Zealand that are not being used for the purpose of racing or breeding of horses for the purpose of racing. The actual size of this sector of the industry is not widely known, the best estimates are made by using the Agribase Biosecurity database, which states the numbers of horses in New Zealand at 120,000 with 40,000 of these being involved in the racing industry, leaving 80,000 to be classified as sport horses for the purpose of this research. The implications of using the Agribase Biosecurity database information is outlined later in this report. The report firstly looks to define the industry and how it is separated from other industries; it also looks at what factors contribute to the makeup of the industry and how these factors are inter- related.
