Brand Products Dealer Hardware Mr. Ed may be dead, but not the horse industry in Utah. More horses today are chomping at the bit statewide than there were nearly 20 years ago. That was the last time a study of the horse industry in Utah was made. A new study, commissioned by the Utah Stale Legislature in 1991, was recently completed by Utah State University's economics department In 1975, there were about 133,000 horses in the state. By 1992 that number increased to 82,700. It is estimated there will be some 250,000 horses in Utah by 1997, said Bruce Godfrey, a Utah Stale University Extension specialist and economics professor. But whoa, Nelly, what's .this about Salt Lake County? There are more horse owners living there (18.03 percent) than anywhere else in the state, according to the study. In fact, Godfrey said, the mane at1 Would You Drive 25 Miles fo $300 to L traction to these herbivorous mammals is found among residents living along the Wasatch Front. Wasatchers own more than 60 percent of all the horses in the state. Utah County came in second at 15 percent, followed by Weber County at 1 1.86 percent; Cache at 6.81 percent; Davis at 6.36, and Box Elder County at 5.08 percent, the report states. Godfrey, who wrote the report, said the average horse owners in Utah are relatively young couples, two-waearners with above-averag- e ge than 40 percent of them are college graduates, according to the report They need the good income to support their habit. Utah horse owners spend more than $775 per animal in order to maintain them, he said. This represents an annual average expenditure of nearly $3,000 ($778 times 3.8 horses per household) for each family who owns a horse in Utah. Most horse owners in Utah keep their animals on lands they own. Only 25 percent keep their horses on someone elses property. Most of those, in this group, live in urban counties. The average amount of land Utah horse owners own is 575 acres, he said.

Those who earn an income from horses average $13,000 a year from racing; $708 from show; $2,500 from rodeos; $4,300 from sales, and $3,100 from other sources associated with their horses. Because most horse owners in Utah maintain animals primarily for personal enjoyment, they apparently place a high value on these animals. According to the owners (which may not necessarily reflect actual sale valiuj) the average value of all horses jvas $1,600. This yields an aggregate value of nearly $293 million for all horses in' Utah as of January 192, he said.
