Alabama

It is easy to find the right horse ranch, horse property, horse farm or equestrian estate in Alabama. Friendly Southern hospitality, sprawling forests and large modern cities fill Alabama with a wide variety of activities, attractions and communities to explore. From the serenity of the lakes and wildernesses of the state's northern regions to the more populated expanses of the southern areas, Alabama's wonderful character holds plenty to appeal to ever horse rider.

The equine industry has a little over 2 billion-dollar impact on the Alabama economy when the multiplier effect of spending by owners, industry suppliers, and employees is taken into account. Accounting for off-site spending of event participants and spectators would result in an even higher figure.

Over 595,000 Alabama households are enthusiastic about horses. Plus, nearly every county has a show facility, a local horse association, and equine events, shows, or competitions.

There are nearly 101,900 horses in Alabama, over 98 percent of which are involved in activities other than racing.
