Horses have a huge economical impact on America’s economy and society.  In fact, the horse industry produces goods and services of $25.3 billion and has a total impact of $112.1 billion on U.S. gross domestic product. This industry’s contribution to the U.S. GDP is greater than the motion picture services, railroad transportation, furniture and fixtures manufacturing and tobacco product manufacturing industries.  In a study released in the summer of 2003 by Penn State University Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Wolff said that $8.2 billion or 18 percent of agribusiness sales—the state’s largest industry—can be attributed to horses. The $8.2 billion figure refers to investments including land, buildings, machinery, etc., and does not include the value of the horses themselves—an additional $1.3 billion.

How can your businesses help?

There are a number ways that a business can help.  As an example, equine supplies that are close to expiration and no longer saleable to the general public are valuable to AC4H.  Another example might be a lumberyard that is able to discount an item we could use or, if it is a product that is being phased out of inventory, it might be something the merchant would consider donating to the rescue for a tax write-off.  Any item or service can also be donated to be raffled to raise much needed funds.
