Equine Guelph is calling on grooms, trainers, and owners in the Ontario, Canada, racing industry, to complete a first-of-its-kind survey on racehorse health and well-being to direct future research and programs for the industry.

The goal of the survey is to learn more about the current challenges facing the Ontario horse racing industry in all three sectors (Quarter Horse, Standardbred, and Thoroughbred).
