As suggestions are concern, 42.4% respondents delineated in their feedback that loan facilities on subsidized rates should be made available to expand equine rearing business, 24.6% demanded expert government veterinary services, 6.6% adequate insurance facilities, 7.3% restart of equine fairs, 2% arrangement of adequate work for equines and 1.3% demanded that awareness camps for equine farmers by Haryana government authorities.
