Not strictly a rural pursuit, more and more equestrian focused communities are being developed in suburban settings and near to major cities. Studies have shown that horse ownership appeals to many different kinds of people and is certainly not limited to the wealthy. The nearly 2 million American horse owners come from a broad range of backgrounds over diverse demographics. Horse ownership appeals to people of all ages. The majority of horse owners are between the ages of 45 and 59 with nearly a third of all owners in the 30–44 age group.
The economic impact of the horse industry is enormous– approximately $39 billion in direct impact– balanced between various aspects of the industry with a majority derived from the recreation and showing segments. It is estimated that over 700,000 people participate in the horse industry as employees.
Though horses are found in every state, California, Texas and Florida are the clear leaders in both horse ownership and economic impact. Texas boasts nearly a million horses, the most horses of any state, while California has the next largest population with almost 700,000 horses. An incredible 3 million horses participate in showing each year throughout America.
To find the perfect horse property refine your search by considering the amenities many equestrian communities offer before you begin. These features include access to barns, stables, fenced paddocks, pastures and arenas as well as adequate roads for trailering your horses.
