Location: Kansas City		As a statistician, I think it good to note that while TX & CA top the list in terms of horse numbers - one should consider the per capita horse populations. While I don't have population numbers at my fingertips, the states just under TX/CA such as OK, KY, OH, MO, & IN have far fewer people so the number of horses per person in those states "may" be significantly higher and thus have a much broader impact (at least across the population) that the top two.

20th and 21st century attitudes ???
It's the title, dammit the country and it's "Economy" was built LARGELY on the backs of horses.
Did the country even know it HAD an "economy" a hundred years ago ?

Someone must have known we had an "economy" as evidenced by the following court case: We still have cases argued under Sherman Antitrust Act today.
Swift & Co. v. United States
Argued: January 6, 1905 Decided: January 30, 1905
Facts of the Case: A "meat trust" developed in Chicago, in which major dealers of meat agreed not to bid against one another in order to control prices. The trust also pressured the railroads into charging them lower-than-normal rates. The U.S. government attacked the trust as an unlawful economic monopoly.

OK, I sit corrected.
For some odd reason I had it in the back of my mind that "Economics" was a "Nooo science" of the 1920s.

I'll attribute it to willful amnesia rather than senile dementia (Spelling ?). Still not THRILLED with most of the MBA courses.
