Before cars became widespread, the United States had a very large horse population. In 1900, there were an estimated 21.5 million horses and mules in the US. This number peaked around 1920, reaching over 25 million.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1900: The US horse population was around 21.5 million.
1915: The carriage industry was being overtaken by automobiles, but there were still many horses in use.
1920: The equine population (including horses and mules) reached its peak at over 25 million.
1935: Even with the rise of automobiles, there were still about 3,000 buggies manufactured each year for rural areas, according to Park City Museum.
1940: The horse population had dropped to around 14 million, according to www.howardweinsteinbooks.com.
1960: The population was down to about 3 million.
