According to a survey by the American Horse Council, there are 9.2 million horses in the United States today. The horse industry contributes $102 billion to the gross domestic product and pays nearly $2 million in taxes annually. Two million people own horses; 4.6 million people are involved in the horse industry as owners, service providers, employees, and volunteers; and tens of millions of spectators enjoy horse events annually. The U.S. horse industry supports approximately 460,000 full-time-equivalent jobs. Most of those jobs do not include hands-on work with horses but instead provide support to the industry. At MTSU, students study with faculty who have a wide range of expertise and choose from a variety of extracurricular activities as they prepare for the future.
As is true of most multi-billion-dollar industries, there are plenty of career opportunities that involve hands-on interaction with horses; however, there are even more careers that do not—that function more in a support role. Career examples include:
- Journalist for any of the major horse publications (breed or discipline-specific magazines); editor of horse publications; photographer; ad or website designer for horse publications or organizations; realtor specializing in horse properties; equine sales and marketing
- Sales and marketing of support supplies: trucks, trailers, fencing, stables, tack and equipment, health supplies, riding attire, feed, hay, etc.; pharmaceutical representative selling products to equine veterinarians and horse owners
