Tennessee Horse Industry News
According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, Tennessee ranks sixth in the United States
for the number of horses and ponies (142,003) and second for the number of mules, burros,
and donkeys (18,350) on farms. Within Tennessee, Bedford County has the largest number of
horses and ponies at 5,611; Wilson County has the largest number of mules, burros, and
donkeys at 619. For 2007, total sales for Tennessee’s equine industry were $31.2 million, or 1.2
percent of total sales from all agriculture commodities for the state ($2.6 billion). Compared to
the United States, Tennessee is ranked 11th in terms of market value of its equine industry.
Increasing the knowledge and awareness of Tennessee’s current equine industry will aid
in shaping its future. Thus, this document is structured along the following theme: First, an
overview of Tennessee’s equine industry is presented. Tennessee’s rank in the United States,
county ranking within the state, and total sales information, based on 2007 Agriculture Census
data, are discussed. Next, a review of the state’s top five equine breeds, along with their
primary usage, is presented. Tennessee’s equine associations and shows are discussed in the
next section. Further, a brief overview of other states breeder incentive programs is presented.
Finally, the remaining part of the document evaluates the economic impacts and importance of
the equine industry for the state.
The top five equine breeds in Tennessee are the Tennessee Walker, Quarter Horse,
Donkey, Mule and Spotted Saddle. The primary usages of equine in Tennessee, depending on
the breed, are pleasure/sport, competition, breeding, and other (used for work, teaching,
retired equine, etc.). Based on responses to a 2009 informal survey, Tennessee has roughly 26
equine associations (if geographic distinctions for the same equine associations are included,
for example, East Tennessee Hunter Jumper Association and West Tennessee Hunter Jumper
Association). For 2008, the Hunter Jumper Association had 24 shows, followed by 15 shows for
the National Spotted Saddle Horse Association, and 14 shows for the Walking Horse Owners
Association.
An analysis of other states‘policies indicated a broad variety of breeder incentive
programs. These financial assistance policies are funded from state tax revenues or purses
from races designed to support horse breeding and ownership and differ in the allocation of
payments to the breeders and owners of state‐bred horses that win or place in races or shows.
The type of state incentives include breeder awards, stallion awards, restricted race purses,
owner awards, and “other” awards and have different policies regarding the administration,
levels of funding and distribution of payments through some or all five alternative incentive
policies.
Tennessee’s equine industry supports a variety of activities and businesses. Based on a
2003 survey, the estimated direct annual economic impacts for total industry output for
Tennessee equine ownership expenditures were $715.3 million (2010$). This level of
expenditures financed over 14,500 jobs. Total value added and indirect business taxes were
estimated at $360.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively. Total impacts to the state’s
economy from equine expenditures were estimated at $1,396.3 million in total industry output.
Estimated total number of jobs was over 20,000, with total value added estimated at over
$746.0 million. Indirect business taxes from equine expenditures were estimated at $61.2
million. Using equine event/show survey expenditures from a 2006 Alabama survey , the direct
economic impacts for equine shows/events for Tennessee were estimated at $22.0 million for
total industry output (2010$) with total impacts estimated at $45.3 million.

In 2010 Horse Haven of Tennessee implemented a new program that helps equine owners who have fallen on hard times. This program is not a hand out, but a hand up.
It is designed for equine owners who have fallen temporarily on hard times and who have demonstrated a desire and willingness to resume full responsibility once their situation changes. This is help for responsible owners who have put the best interest of their horses first, owners who have resigned themselves to the possibility of surrendering their equine to a rescue to insure their continued well being.
Horse Haven of Tennessee feels that these owners deserve the chance to retain ownership instead of giving up these animals that they truly don’t want to lose. To help them accomplish this is the reason we started the “Helping Hoof Program”.
This program will financially help owners who qualify for the program’s guidelines by providing them temporarily with feed and hay. Helping them to feed their animals during this short term setback in their lives will hopefully enable them to retain ownership, or find permanent placement into a new home.
