Greetings,
Researchers at the Ohio State University invite you to participate in a survey about standard management practices of horse owners in Ohio. Responses from this survey will give us a better understanding of typical feeding and housing practices observed in the Ohio horse industry as well as what sources are most commonly used by horse owners to determine best management practices. This survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. To participate in this survey, you must be over 18 and own horses in the state of Ohio.
Risks of Participation and Informed Consent:
We do not anticipate any risk to you if you choose to participate in this survey. Every effort will be made to keep the results confidential; your name will not be associated with your responses. There is no cost to the survey except your time. You are free to choose whether or not to complete the survey and can discontinue participation at any time.
Drawing
This survey includes entry into a drawing for a variety of prizes including a $20 gas card from Speedway or $20 gift cards to Rod’s Western Palace. You have an approximately 1:20 chance of winning.
