' Country-based comparison analysis using fsQCA investigating entrepreneurial attitudes and activity,' It was found that the firm's organisation method is an important factor in predicting business continuity, in achieving medium- and long-term objectives, and in ensuring business success. The horse industry needs true 'enthusiastic entrepreneurs' who have the management knowledge and skills to make their business more professional and profitable. The present study is important in drawing attention to the main impediments faced by Romanian entrepreneurs in the development of the equine sector, a sector which-because of the emotional and physical benefits that horses offer-has great potential. Changing customer requirements make it a difficult area in which to develop a sustainable start-up ecosystem. The equine sector is constantly changing: it is affected by politics, the social environment and new competitors. The combination of equine services can ensure a business's survival during a crisis, and businesses involving horses can be considered complex. The equine sector plays a strategic role in the development of durable, sustainable and social entrepreneurship.

The paper proposes an analysis of entrepreneurial intentions in the equine sector in Romania and the identification of the variables influencing economic growth in this field.
