Figure 1. Primary use of horses as reported by survey respondents.

Respondents differed somewhat from the expected general population regarding primary use of their animals (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Data were reweighted using survey data and information from the Deloitte study to extrapolate expected use/purpose across the entire population to estimate revenues and economic impacts.

40.3% of respondents with a farm or ranch reported using horses on their farm/ranch operation.
