"This will be a wakeup call about the severity of some problems," says Brock Professor Kendra Coulter, Chancellor's Chair for Research Excellence and Chair of the Labour Studies Department. "My hope is that the report shines a light, inspires new conversations and adds fodder to those that are underway about how to improve job quality in stables."

On Thursday, Oct. 25, Coulter released her report, Work in Ontario Horse Stables, which presents key findings from a survey of 1,000 people including stable owners and operators, and current and former workers.
