Legislative Update
A Joint Resolution to create an “Equine Industry Support Measure Study Committee” to examine the potential for further growth of the equine industry in South Carolina and the resulting impact has passed a second reading.
A survey conducted for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture by the University of South Carolina reported nearly 18,000 thoroughbreds and another 19,000 quarter horses reside in our state. The equine industry has an economic impact of about $1.9 billion annually creating over 28,500 jobs.
It is important for the state of South Carolina to see the equine industry be promoted and grow particularly horse racing, showing and other forms of recreational horsemanship.
The Committee will consist of seven members. The role of the committee is:
1) To examine the details of the economic impact on our state.
2) To examine the potential growth of the equine industry in South Carolina.
3) Determine what barriers might be slowing the growth of the industry and see how these barriers can be reduced or eliminated.
4) Compare our equine industry to other states in the Southeast.
5) Should we encourage cooperation with surrounding states in regards to equine facilities?
6) Examine any other issues that can benefit the growth of the thoroughbred equine industry in our state.
