This study was a continuation of the work begun by the subcommittee in 1980. (See House Document No. 18, 1981 Session of the General Assembly.) The General Assembly charged the subcommittee to explore the need for, and the feasibility of establishing, a state-sponsored center to be used by the state's horse industry for shows, exhibits, sales, and other relevant activities. The subcommittee was able to discuss further the need for a horse center and to explore several alternative means of establishing such a center. In its deliberations this year, the subcommittee had access to new information delineating the impact of the horse industry on Virginia's economy.
