"but one quotation I hear a lot is that there are more horses in the US now than there were 100 years ago. "
The racing industry alone would outnumber horses of past decades. Breeding programmes that now produce horses like packaged goods assembly lines has seen horses become a formidable industry of the 21st century.
Simply look at Germany, i think there are over 90,000 registered riders at the elite level strivng for 4 positions on an Olympic team...they all have a horse let alone a team of horses.
Breeding is big money, I guess what this thread is about again.
