Brian Bourne, Trail Specialist for the Shawnee National Forest, stated there are 9.2 million horses in the US and approximately 4 million are used for recreation. The horse community is very large in number and basically a silent bunch generating 1 billion dollars to the trail riding industry. Tom Seay, speaker Best of America by Horseback, on RFD TV, stated that's 3 times as many horse owners as they are members of the NRA. United we must become to preserve the future of our trails for the next generation saving our American Heritage and the future for all horses. Secure these values by joining a proactive group at a local level, regional level and the national level.
