Just Out Of Curiosity...How Many Horses Are There In The United States?

According to The American Horse Council (AHC), there has been some confusion in the past on exact U.S. horse population numbers. This is because there are three main organizations (National Agriculture Statistic Service (NASS), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and AHC) that collect and publish data regarding the U.S. horse population and each organization counts the numbers differently. This is why AHC has combined the data from all the available sources and offers the latest, most precise overview of the horse population.

According to AHC equine industry most recent statistics, there are 7,246,835 horses in the U.S, including both recreational and commercial horses. Here’s a quick overview of the number of horses based on activities. Also we’ve added the three states with the most horses and the three states with the least.
