Campbellville, ON (March 6, 2026) – The agricultural equine sector makes a significant economic contribution nationally and provincially. The impact of the Ontario industry is diverse, with involvement in a variety of activities including, but not limited to farming, racing, performance, sport, recreation, therapy, tourism, education, pharmaceutical, and medical. In addition to the economic benefits, horses provide significant environmental advantages by grazing on land that is unsuitable for growing crops, thereby promoting natural land management, provincial greenspace, and sustainability of rural agricultural areas.
