Anita Enander, with the Institute for the Desert Arabian Horse has graciously agreed to provide ABN with the some results of a recent survey conducted by the Institute.
Here is an excerpt of the article:
"Do you have 4-9 mares, plus a stallion or two, and breed one or two foals each year? Then you fit the profile of the “typical” breeder according to a survey just completed by The Institute for the Desert Arabian Horse.
The survey was used to identify basic demographics, breeding goals, sales information, activities used to promote interest in the Desert Arabian, and general views on the marketplace (past and present).
Replies were received from breeders in 26 states, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany. The responses showed remarkable consistency in a number of areas. More than 50 percent of respondents fit the profile given above. Some of the respondents described themselves as “newbies” while others had 20 or more years of experience. In addition to providing statistical information, many made additional comments and suggestions. "
