3.4.2 Sample Survey The sample of the survey contains a total of 52 participants. There are 51.9% male and 42.3 % female respondents (n = 49). The mean age is around 39 years (n = 48). The range in age is between 21 to 56. The distribution of practitioners' field of work is demonstrated in figure 5. The participants were farrier, bare hoof practitioners, hoof technicians and hoof orthopaedists. This sample was divided into 14 traditional (TP) and 38 alternative hoof treatment practitioners (AP) to be able to compare the target groups. The group of TP contains certificated farriers educated both by traditional and alternative instructive institutes. Whereas the group of AP contains hoof technicians, hoof orthopaedists and bare hoof practitioners. Within the group of TP there is just one woman, whereas the group of AP consists of 15 male and 21 female participants. The difference in gender between the target groups is significant (Chi-square, p = 0.002). The distribution of origin within this group is shown in figure 6 below. Most of the respondents come from Bavaria. 26% 48% 19% certificated farrier bare hoof practitioner 6% hoof technician hoof orthopaedist Figure 5: distribution of practitioners' field of work (n = 52) 20 15 10 5 0 Baden- Württemberg Bavaria Hesse Lower Saxony NRW Rhinel.

4. RESULTS Within this chapter the results of the interviews and survey are demonstrated separately. Further the results of the need and potential analysis of all participants are presented. The output of SPSS for significant differences can be found in Annex 9.7 for the interviews and 9.8 for the survey. 4.1 Interviews In total twenty-seven equine experts were interviewed. Fifteen traditional experts (TE) and twelve alternative experts (AE). To determine the frequencies of the given answers frequency tables were used. The following strengths and problems within the hoof treatment sector were mentioned: Table 2: experts' strengths and problems Strengths (n = 27) Problems (n = 27) • variety, specialisation (34.6 %) • new material, techniques, science (26.9 %) • certificated education (26.9 %) • client orientation (23.1 %) • communication, co-operation (11.5 %) • future (15.4 %) • interested horse owner (7.7 %) • flexibility (7.7 %) • experiences of practitioner with horses (7.7%) • holistic view on horse (7.7 %) • missing regulation (70.4 %) • other methods (55.6 %) • lack of basic knowledge (48.1 %) • unclear picture for horse owner (37.0 %) • missing further education (44.4 %) • new law (37.0 %) • practitioners against each other (22.2 %) • missing communication, co-operation (18.5%) • too economic view (3.7 %) On average every TE mentioned 1.3 strengths and 3.2 problems. Every AE mentioned on average 2 strengths and 3.5 problems within the hoof treatment industry.
