In the latest episode of On the Rail Podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Julie Broadway, the President of the American Horse Council, to discuss the results of the 2023 National Equine Economic Impact Study. This research highlights the equine industry's significant $177 billion contribution to the U.S. economy and its role in supporting 2.2 million jobs. However, it also points to a slight decrease in the horse population, raising questions about the industry’s future. Throughout our discussion, we looked into the importance of these findings and discussed practical strategies and policy changes that could arise from this valuable data.
Understanding the results of this study is crucial for all horse owners and enthusiasts. It offers insights into how the industry contributes to the economy and the challenges it faces. By informing yourselves, you can contribute to the conversation, help shape future policies, and implement practices that support the growth and sustainability of the equine industry.
