The equestrian market ain’t hay with a $300B economy and tens of millions engaged, 30M in the U.S. and over 6M in the UK alone. Equestrian gear sales that are projected to jump another $3B by 2028 create prime opportunities for brand partnerships. Add in the adjacent pet market, set to grow from $273B to $428B by 2032, and you’ve got a massive, emotionally-connected audience of 87M U.S. pet owners, and worldwide owners caring for 900m dogs and 370m cats. All with a nice overlap for the 54% of equestrians who also own dogs. Long-lived shows like Heartland, All Creatures Great and Small, and Dog Whisperer prove that audiences love watching stories about animals and the people who care for them.
