摘要：In recent years, the discussion about animal welfare in equestrian sports has gained increasing importance.
One of the main points of criticism are horse husbandries that do not prioritise animal welfare. Therefore,
the objective of this study is to analyse the additional willingness-to-pay for a more animal-friendly horse
husbandry. For this propose, an online-survey was conducted among 738 riders throughout Germany. The
results show that riders are willing to pay a price premium of 31.9% if their horse/horses were kept in more
animal-friendly husbandry conditions compared to current conditions. Furthermore, age, level of education,
riding ambition, as well as attitude towards animal welfare, are revealed as factors influencing riders’ additional
willingness-to-pay for a more animal-friendly horse husbandry.
