The concept of an "equine industry" is one that has only emerged in recent years. This is despite the fact that horses have always been, and continue to be, significant sources of economic activity, especially in rural areas.

This book collates information from a diverse range of sources. It shows how a huge but disorganised cottage industry forms an important sector of British industry, both in terms of capital invested and human resources employed. Each chapter will look at a different section of the equine industry, from racing through to pony clubs and riding establishments. Information is also provided on the goods sector such as farriers, saddlers, stable equipment etc and also a section on veterinary services.

This book will be invaluable for anyone working in the horse world who needs to understand all the different components sectors of the horse community and how they fit together.
