In EnglishSummaryHorses are
considered to be of increasing importance in Swedish society. Up until now
statistics on horses have only been minor. Horses at agricultural holdings have
been covered regularly, but these consist of only one-third of all horses in
Sweden. In autumn
2004, Statistics Sweden was commissioned by the Swedish Board of Agriculture to
carry out a survey aiming at estimating the total number of horses and the
number of establishments with horses. An establishment can be e.g. a trainer, a
riding school, a farm holding or a private family stable. It is looked upon as
one unit even in the case that there are several owners/users of the horses who
care for the horses independently. The results
of this survey are presented here. Methodology Target population Frame population The population was divided into four sub-populations:
Data was
gathered mainly by a postal survey, except for municipalities, for which data
was gathered by collecting administrative registers covering stable inspections. Results According
to the survey, there were 283 100 horses in Sweden in October 2004. There
were 56 000 establishments with horses. The number
of horses shows a strong positive correlation to the number of inhabitants. As
an average for the whole country, there are 31 horses for every 1 000 inhabitants.
