THE HORSE iN SWEDEN – more important than you think Half of the arable land in Skåne The 300 000 horses in the country require 300 000 hectares or 600 000 football pitches to supply them with fodder. That’s almost as much as half of all the arable land in Skåne! Another dimension “Well, yes, you can pat a football – but patting a horse is a different thing altogether! And a football won’t whinny in recognition when you go to fetch it either.” (Overheard in a stable) Economy “The horse industry in Sweden today is a multi-million crown business, creating amongst other things employment corresponding to 28 000 full years’ employment.” (from “The social economic importance of the horse industry”, 2004) ”Horses help people” Spending time with horses provides both physical training and meditation, says Agneta Enertz, occupational therapist from Trelleborg who runs a health-riding business in tandem with her day job. “They help people stay healthy both in body and mind” (from the magazine “Feel Good”, September 2003)
