The number of job losses following the hunting ban has been a fraction of those originally predicted by the Countryside Alliance. It said before the ban 16,000 people could lose their jobs nationally. The government said it would be 4,000.
So far, about 20 jobs have been lost in the South West, the Alliance said.
Spokesperson Alison Hawes said it was not a gross over-estimate, and that hunt supporters believe that the ban will be repealed.
"We believe very passionately that this is a temporary ban and that is why all the hunts are continuing, which is why people are supporting them, which is why farmers are still allowing them across their land," she said.
"If the hunting community thought for one moment that this ban was a permanent ban and that hunting would not return, then we would see job losses definitely."
Peter Anderson, from the League Against Cruel Sports, said: "All these predictions were wild exaggerations.
"The reality is the countryside is as much as it was before the ban.
"People will continue to go about their activities, equestrian activities continue - just as the League has always said."
Some traders at the Royal Cornwall Show also said the ban has not had a huge impact on their businesses.
Andrea Leary from Rose Equestrian Supplies said: "With the drag hunting still going on we haven't lost business that way. Obviously a lot of people who hunt do other disciplines which we provide for."
