Licensees, registrants and authorization holders
The AGCO provides services to a wide group of licensees, registrants and authorization holders. The following tables outline AGCO’s currently active licensees, registrants and authorization holders as of March 2022. It also shows the information from the previous fiscal year.
Please note that due to the name changes impacting several licence, registration and authorization types, some of which resulted in re-categorization, there is some variance from the numbers reported in the 2020–2021 Annual Report.

Note:
- Total number of horse racing licences grouped by horse breed is a new data point added to the report this year.
- Individuals in the horse racing sectors can hold a licence allowing them to work across breeds (Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, and Standardbred).
- The counts per breed are not mutually exclusive of each other; this means that an individual licence may be counted more than once across the Standardbred, Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse categories.
