Horses are big business in Virginia.  From racing, to boarding, to training, to recreation, horses are a critical part of the Virginia economy.  And In April of 2005 the Virginia will welcome The 2nd annual Virginia Equine Extravaganza® , a Virginia based, east coast equestrian expo of national proportions.   

The 2001 Virginia Equine Survey reveals staggering figures for the Virginia horse industry, showing that as of June 2001 there were an estimated 170,000 horses in over 29,000 operations throughout the state.  Of the estimated 170,000 horses in Virginia, over 60,000 (more than1/3 of the total), are concentrated in 14 counties of Northern Virginia, where the Equine Event East will be held.  Virginia equine operations spent a total of nearly $505 million during 2001 caring for horses.  Total expenses per horse averaged $2969 and total expenses per operation averaged $17,406. The Virginia Equine Extravaganza®  gives these horse owners and professionals a venue in which to increase their market savvy, discover new product sources and make wise purchases.
