2023 Economic Impact Study

Conducted by the American Horse Council (AHC), the results of the 2023 Equine Economic Impact Survey shed light on the significant and robust contributions of the equine industry to the U.S. economy. The survey offers a comprehensive overview of the economic impact and trends within the equine sector and highlights how it reaches far beyond the pastures and ranch land across the country.

A cornerstone of culture

The horse industry is more than just an economic powerhouse; it is a vital part of Texas’s identity. Horses have played an integral role in Texas’s rich cultural heritage. Rooted in the traditions of the American West, the bond between Texans and their horses symbolizes resilience, independence, and community.

By harnessing the collaborative resources of this very large and dynamic equine industry across the state, we ensure the continued growth and prosperity of our state while honoring the traditions that make Texas truly unique.
