A number of horse trainers and related equestrian traders have settled in Colorado.
Colorado ranks tenth in the USA’s state horse population. Research reveals that the total impact of the horse industry in Colorado is over $1.6 billion. The total number of jobs in the horse industry, including support workers, is over 27,000. Of Colorado’s total horse population of 256,000 horses, 106,400 are Quarter Horses, and 17,800 are Thoroughbreds. More than 70 percent of Colorado’s horses are kept mainly for showing or recreational purposes. The National Western Stock Show, held annually in Denver since 1906, contributes around $115 million to the economy. As well as hosting many stock and equitation classes, it is home to the world’s largest rodeo.
Colorado is a state that is closely associated with the traditions of the Old American West. Think of Colorado, and it’s likely that an image of a cowboy and horse will come to mind. Wild Mustangs have always been symbolic of Colorado’s remote and mountainous terrain. It is one of the areas where large herds of Mustangs roamed, ready to be captured and tamed by cowboys. The wild horses still roam there today. Horses were always essential to people in Colorado, including the local Ute people. The horses provided transport, motive power for the farmers, and pack animals for the miners. Colorado does not have an official state horse, but it does have a horse breed named after the state. This is the Colorado Rangerbred or Colorado Ranger. The breed was created by Mike Ruby early in the twentieth century. The ancestors of the breed were two stallions that General Ulysses S. Grant was given by Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey in 1878. Their names were Leopard and Linden Tree. Many Colorado Rangers have leopard-spotted or other Appaloosa-type coloring. It’s been suggested that the wild horses of the Oak Creek Canyon Ranch range are descendants of horses kept by Morgan Horse breeders in the early 20th century. Local historians point to their remarkable similarity to the Morgan Horse.
Colorado is home to some very active horse associations, including the Colorado Horseracing Association, the Rocky Mountain Quarter Horse Association, and the Colorado Draft Horse Association. Arabians, Saddlebreds, and Paint Horses are also well-represented in this state. Most associations are based in or around Denver.
The rodeo is very popular in Colorado. While the National Western Stockshow incorporates not only the largest rodeo in the state but also in the world, there are many local rodeos, too. Trail riding is understandably very popular in Colorado’s stunning landscape. Western events are always well supported and showing is also popular.
The outstanding Saddlebred sire, Rex Blees, an initiate in the Saddlebred Hall of fame, first appeared in the show-ring at Colorado Springs in 1901. The statue of the well-loved Bucky the Bronco, the mascot of the Denver Broncos football team, sits proudly above their stadium. Bucky was modeled on Trigger, the famous horse of Roy Rogers. Another of Colorado’s most famous (or infamous) horses is Blue Mustang, the statue of a rearing horse at Denver International Airport. Nicknamed Blucifer for his vivid coloring and somewhat demonic red eyes, the statue is controversial, but hard to ignore.
Colorado is in the Rocky Mountain region of the USA, in the western and southwestern parts of the country. The population of Colorado is 4,665,177 and its capital is Denver. There is a tiny town in Colorado called Wild Horse.
