The present study aimed to design a model for identifying barriers to domestic and foreign investment in the horse breeding industry of Golestan Province, Iran, and to propose operational solutions. The study population comprised experts, specialists, managers, and coaches engaged in equestrian federations and clubs, university faculty members in the field of sports sciences, as well as individuals with practical experience in the horse breeding industry of Golestan Province. Using purposive sampling, 14 participants were recruited until data saturation was achieved. A three-stage coding method was utilized to conceptually frame the extracted themes. The identified barriers to investment included economic and financing problems, challenges related to imports and exports, and managerial and organizational issues. Proposed solutions for domestic and foreign investment in the industry encompassed support programs, specialized empowerment, and attracting cooperation and investment. To foster the development of the horse breeding industry in Golestan Province, the study recommends designing and implementing support programs in critical areas such as breeding, import facilitation, specialized empowerment, and attracting domestic and foreign investment. These measures are expected to drive quantitative and qualitative improvements in the industry. Achieving these goals will require international collaboration, infrastructure enhancement, financial and educational support, and the adoption of new technologies.
